Julián Castro has made it official. I had moved him to the "I'm Running'' list a few days ago based on him having formed an exploratory committee, but with this official announcement I'm going to change the date next to his name to today."As long as we work for it, tomorrow will always be better than today." https://t.co/2NAIFEsCFh #Julian2020— Julián Castro (@JulianCastro) January 12, 2019

Days until Election Day: 660
Update on January 15. Kirsten Gillibrand has formed an exploratory committee. Going forward I'm going to leave people on the Potential list until they formally announce their candidacy. Then I'll move them to the I'm Running list.
Days until Election Day: 657
Update #2 on Saturday, January 19: Apparently Kirsten Gillibrand formally announced her candidacy on Wednesday. It was a busy week and I missed it. I've moved her to the I'm Running list above.
I didn't have Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey on the potential list but apparently he had looked at running. He announced yesterday that he won't run, so in the interest of being thorough I've added him to the I'm Not Running list.
Days until Election Day: 653
