Friend -- We have bad news and good news. The bad news is that Republicans currently control more state legislative chambers than Democrats:
But the good news is that according to political expert Larry Sabato, Republicans have more vulnerable chambers than Democrats! And that includes chambers we're targeting, like the Minnesota Senate (a TOSS-UP), the Texas House, and both chambers in North Carolina.
State legislative chambers are vital to redistricting because in many states, the process is controlled by a combination of the state legislature and the governor. That's why the NDRC is targeting 12 chambers in eight states in 2020. Help us win seats >>
Here's the bottom line: If we can't fix the imbalance in state legislative control this year, the GOP will be able to gerrymander their way into power for another decade.
But if we can, we'll be able to get Democrats to the table to secure fair maps!
Let's do it. Pitch in now to give us the best shot for equitable redistricting in 2021!
