Donate now to turn state legislatures blue and stop GOP gerrymandering!

Goal thermometer

This is it. This is our last, best chance to stop Republicans nationwide from gerrymandering themselves into power for another 10 years. It all depends on winning a broad swath of crucial elections this fall for state legislatures across the country.


If we prevail, we can finally unwind the distorted maps that have allowed Republicans to lock in minority rule for too long. If we don’t, we face another decade of watching GOP politicians choose their voters rather than the other way around.


That’s why Daily Kos is going all-in to support a massive, diverse slate of fantastic Democratic candidates running to flip Republican legislative seats in several chambers that we can wrest from the GOP in November. Will you join us?


Please give $1 to each of these Democrats who can turn GOP legislatures blue! Can’t give to every candidate? Pick three and send them $3 each!


Because 2020 is a census year, the maps for Congress and every state legislature must be redrawn starting in 2021 to reflect the nation’s population shifts over the last 10 years. Those new districts will play a critical role in determining who will be elected for the coming decade.


In most states, those lines are drawn by state lawmakers themselves. Not only will they craft new maps for the House of Representatives, they’ll also come up with the very districts they’ll use to elect members of their own legislative bodies. Is it a terrible system? Oh yes. Is it the one we have to wage this battle under? Yes again. And is it the one we’ll do everything we can to blow up once we win? Oh you better believe it.


Daily Kos has never rolled out a slate this large all at once before, and we know we’re asking a lot from you. But we’ve also never seen our community this pumped up before. Progressive activism is at an absolute fever pitch everywhere, so we knew it was go big or go home—and we definitely ain’t going home.


If you want to turn legislatures from red to blue, this is your one-stop shopping opportunity. It’s also a chance to build a more reflective Democratic Party that looks like its voters: Most of our endorsees are women, people of color, LGBTQ, immigrants, and first-generation Americans.


You’re going to be hearing a lot from us about this slate in the final two months of the election, because every last one of these candidates is going to face a barrage of Republican attacks, and they’ll need the resources to fight back. For grassroots donors, though, you’ll get tremendous bang for your buck, since legislative races have much smaller budgets than statewide contests. A little really does go a long away. We’re counting on you—and so are they.


Can you give $1 to each of these amazing Democrats running to flip state legislatures from red to blue? Can’t give to all of them? Go “3 for 3”: Choose three candidates and send them $3 each!
