@MarcusAbramovitch intro'd me to Jay Shooster, and we're chatting for 30m on Thursday. He's trying to convince me to donate to his campaign, will he succeed?

I generally like EA candidates but don't know much about Jay; apparently he's

A long time member of the EA community. He's a lawyer who does some work for Open Phil, an AI policy fellow and a lawyer who files lawsuits against cruel factory farming companies.

Seems pretty based.

I did donate to Carrick Flynn's ill-fated campaign and was on the edge of volunteering for that too; though the impact of having a Florida state rep seems much lower than a US congress rep, probably the chances of success are much higher.
