running for office? Specifically, say, in theory, I am supporting a Democratic challenger to a sitting Democratic member of congress- can I safely support the challenger here? I don't even know where to find this info. Thanks for any help. Peace.

My own 'take' is you want to post about someone who is 'primary-ing' a sitting Dem from the left. There's a bunch of sitting Dems in both House and Senate to whom I'd like to see that happen...

Nothing says you have to support a Democratic incumbent for office, so long as the challenger you are supporting is a D primary opponent!
