Hello and welcome to Forever 35, a podcast about the things we do to take care of ourselves.
I'm Dori Shafir.
And I'm Elise Hu and we're just two friends who like to talk a lot about serums.
And today we have a guest who has been on before.
Melissa Walker holds a special place in our hearts because of where she works and what she does and how important it is for our democracy.
She works for the States Project,
which helps flip state legislatures and which so many of you have contributed to,
to help flip the state legislatures.
So we are so grateful to you.
And yeah, we get to get to talk to her later in the show.
Election Day is right around the corner for those of y'all who have, you know,
off year or off cycle elections, odd year elections like the state of Virginia.
which has a big one coming up on November 4th.
We here in California are voting on Prop 50 on November 4th.
And I got my ballot in the mail, but I have yet to actually fill it out.
So early voting is going on.
Mail-in voting is going on.
For as long as we have the right to vote, we should exercise that right.
So Melissa Walker will talk a lot.
in our interview coming up later in the show about the importance of what's going on at the States and kind of what the national playing field is looking like.
