Judd Legum used to write for ThinkProgress. He’s currently running for state legislature in Maryland and is a prime example of how this young generation of political activists are moving away from advocacy, writing, and organizing and towards seeing public service as an outlet for their commitment to change. Judd really is the first A-List blogger to run for office that I know of, but I hope he’s not the last.

I recently donated to his campaign on ActBlue; I encourage you to do the same.
