I voted in WA State. Not that my vote is really going to sway things on a federal level. I didn't have one federal-level vote on my ballot this year. That said I saw a ton of young minorities going up against a bunch of white old people for local positions. While I still voted for who I thought would do a great job, that person was usually the younger minority folks over the white old folks.
One thing I did vote for is https://www.tacoma4all.org/initiative01 which a bunch of the against arguments boiled down to "the landlords will sell and tear down the buildings and we'll all be homeless if we enact a law that says landlords need to be responsible people!" It was really shocking to see such a weak argument in the voter's pamphlet. Check it out here: https://i.imgur.com/HH6HNRk.png
