.@carterforva is a shining light in politics. The toxicity of the system clearly made his life miserable but here is 1) a huge congratulations for what he gave already, and 2) a sincere hope that after enough time has passed he鈥檒l be ready to get back in the game. #BravoLeeCarter
This job has made me miserable for the last 4 years. I made a lot of people's lives objectively better, but the constant assassination threats and harassment were terrible for my family and my health. I'm relieved to say that I've done my part, and now it's someone else's turn.

Lee Carter is not a white man with a delusion of grandeur. Quite the opposite.

In spite of his loss, casting my vote for him yesterday in Virginia felt...pure. It made me realize how dirty I鈥檝e felt having to hold my nose as I vote for the least awful candidate.

I totally understand. There鈥檚 something exhilarating about participating in politics when you feel it鈥檚 a true expression of your values.

I had no idea who he was ... "Lee Jin Carter is a Democrat who has represented the 50th district in the Virginia House of Delegates since 2018. He just lost his seat and he says he鈥檚 going to start a small regenerative farm so he can feed people and put carbon back in the soil."
He鈥檚 such an inspiration!!!
