Until recently Democrats (and progressives) missed the boat on coordinating efforts to win majorities in the state legislatures. Republicans-- and outside right-wing groups-- haven't. They've done a great deal of damage on a state level, as we've seen in Georgia, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, Florida, Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Arizona, Texas...
We're looking for strong advocates who will protect and advance progressive values in state and local legislatures and eventually move up through the political system. Call it "Blue America's Farm Team."
The 2020 cycle was a disaster for Democrats below the presidential level and we simply have to work harder and put more priority into winning more seats with better candidates in state and local legislatures.
