Pro tip: If you plan to write thank-you-notes to everyone who helped your campaign, it's likely that some of those people will share a first name. Plan accordingly.

Thank you very much to everyone who voted, knocked on doors, put up a yard sign, donated, and encouraged me this election season. All of you - all of us - have proved, even in defeat, that there's an appetite to Do Things in Arlington, one too big for townwide candidates to ignore.

DAMNIT

WE'RE UP BY EIGHT

Update: My opponent and I are currently tied. Like, exactly tied. 1457 votes to 1457 votes. Wow.

Arlington override YES 9,666 No 3,775 #ArlingtonMA #mapoli

Votes are coming in! I'll be standing outside of town hall if you want to watch them come in together.

ELECTION DAY IS TODAY IN ARLINGTON! If you haven't voted yet, there's still time!

“but maybe it’ll work for us” no, it literally never does and it never will and you having infinite money to bribe him with won’t change that

Woah - There was an Arlingtonian who died at Andersonville - possibly the worst place you could be sent as a Civil War POW. We owe it to Charles Marchant, of the 28th Mass., to ensure that the toxic ideology that killed him, and made sure that he died slowly and in pain, can never kill again.

Tyranny. Intolerable. A theft of our own tax money, a denial of the protections that we paid for

The last day of in-person early voting in Arlington was yesterday, so if you're planning to vote this election and want to do it in-person, you'll have to do it on election day (the 28th).

All 21 "Vote 4 Jacob" yard signs have been up for a couple of days! If you find all of them, you will be awarded two (2) bonus points.

Thank you to all the voters who stopped to say hi outside of town hall this afternoon! I have to go eat food and return library books now - see you at No Kings III on the 28th!

I remember sending out an XCOM 2 squad consisting of my friend Nate, the TF2 demoman, Babylon 5's John Sheridan, an enormous French-speaking robot, and Hulk Hogan.

Come say hi! If you're planning to vote early today between now and 2pm, I'll be in front of town hall!

YES SOMEONE RECOGNIZED IT! I was trying to say something subtextually about what an effective and appropriate response to authoritarianism looks like, and borrowing the symbology of a movement that brought Soviet communism to its knees and then to the negotiating table did that.

Hey! I'll be out in front of Arlington Town Hall in a red sweater tomorrow with some flyers - looking forward to talking to some Arlingtonians on the last day of early voting. Come say hi!

YES YES YES THE BRAZILIAN GROCERY STORE IN UNION SQUARE HAS BACALHAU

We have our first candidate profile up in Arlington Patch! Read and enjoy. patch.com/massachusett...

GBNEMBA hosts their MTB Gear Garage Sale April 4: “Join us Saturday, April 4 at 10AM at Pierce Elementary School in Arlington for a fun GBNEMBA MTB Gear Garage Sale. One rider's cast off is another rider's upgrade. Let's clear out the garage and make room for some new gear!”

Can someone please explain why I have developed a sudden craving for Parmasean Cheese at 1:48 am.

Late nite yardsigning

I was knocking on doors in Precinct 9 today when I ran into another candidate knocking on doors. Behind the door we were both knocking on was...a third candidate. Paul M. Selker, Ashish Kumar Mitra, and I all encourage you to vote for each other (they're both in pct. 9), and vote Yes on 1!

GUYS THE YARD SIGNS ARE COOL AS HELL

I do wish that I'd caught the printing error on the flyers *before* having to manually correct 100 of them with a red permanent marker, but c'est la vie.

Early voting in Arlington has begun! Here's when Town Hall is open: Wednesday the 18, 08:00 – 17:00 Thursday the 19, 08:00 – 19:00 Friday the 20, 08:00 – 12:00 Saturday the 21, 10:00 – 14:00 Monday the 23, 08:00 – 16:00 Tuesday the 24, 08:00 – 16:00 Wednesday the 25, 08:00 – 16:00

At Candidate's Night! I'll be around the Precinct 13 area if you wanna say hi.

I think it's a bullish sign for the Dem Tea Party that random suburban dads are now answering the door for canvassers wearing Spanish Republican propaganda T shirts.

The website is up! vote4jacob.com Come learn more about the campaign's policy priorities, join us at upcoming events, and re-read posts from this bluesky account!

Woohoo the printer is going to send back the proof for yard signs soon! If you want one, and are in or near Arlington, Massachusetts, please reach out!

Woohoo! Canvassing went great today. Met nearly 50 Arlingtonians - including @ajbl.bsky.social - hi! - *didn't* freeze my fingers off, and learned that Arlington is more ready than ever to embrace bold, pro-social action to resolve its housing crisis. Forverts!

Hi! I'll be at the ACMI candidate's night at Arlington Town Hall from 7:30 to 9-ish on Wednesday the 18th. I'll be wearing a red sweater and a "Wide Awake for Lincoln" lapel pin ( @djinnandtonic.bsky.social ). See you all there!

Train's here

YES YES YES THE CAMPAIGN ACCOUNT IS FINALLY OPEN WOOHOO

At The Bank doing Stuff.

Damnit, I forgot to take a picture at the Winslow Towers Tennant Assosciation Meeting.
