Can we label threads with political affiliation/location of candidates?

Now that we are finally in an election year, can we try to label the candidates with the name, office, and political party when posting threads? Most people might be knowledgeable regarding all the candidates in all the regions, but I'll bet many of us are not.

For example:

Mark Warner, D-VA, Senate

Jaime Harrison, D-NC, Senate

Denver Riggleman, R-VA05 House

Or "Warner (D-VA) ahead of challenger in Senate race"

This becomes important when posting something like, "Smith takes huge lead!"

Thanks for considering it
