Bye Bye Judd!

ThinkProgress would like to bid a fond farewell to our dear friend, mentor, and editor, Judd Legum. Judd has accepted a position to become the research director for Sen. Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. (Some of our savvy readers have already picked up on this.)

Judd founded ThinkProgress two years ago and served as its guiding force. He aimed high and usually hit his mark. The quality of research you have seen (and will continue to see) on this site and the strong progressive community that visits ThinkProgress daily are a lasting testament to Judd’s success.

Please send your goodbye wishes to byebyejudd@gmail.com. He’d love to hear from you.

As a token of our appreciation, we’ve compiled some of our favorite blog posts authored by Judd over the years. Here’s a trip down memory lane:
