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... The Republicans even flipped 3 blue Assembly seats in California!
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 2024 cycle had its ups and downs for Democrats below the presidential level but we have to work harder and put more priority into winning more seats with better candidates in state and local legislatures.
