## Resource

A Democratic state lawmaker is boldly challenging the sitting governor in a rare primary bid, leveraging public financing to amplify his campaign’s reach. With a platform focused on economic justice—including taxing the top 1% to fund education, property relief, and child credits—Elliott is rallying voters through statewide rallies, especially resonating with younger audiences. Though polls show the governor ahead, Elliott’s grassroots momentum and policy vision could shift the tide. Even if he doesn’t win the governor’s race, he’s doubling down by running for reelection to the state House, where he’s favored.
