State legislatures remain crucial battlegrounds in the fight to defend our rights and communities.

John,

 

One month ago, Donald Trump retook the White House. Since then, state Democrats across the country have been mobilizing to fight back and thwart the worst of the dangerous MAGA agenda.

 

With Republicans holding full power in the federal government, state legislatures remain crucial battlegrounds in the fight to defend our rights and communities.

 

Leaders in California, Illinois, Washington, Massachusetts and others have all taken steps to “Trump proof” their states — to protect policies and priorities from the reach of the administration. These states are taking real action: stockpiling abortion pills, protecting same-sex marriage, marshaling legal resources, and more.

While these state races are often overlooked, their significance cannot be overstated, John. States hold a consequential amount of power on issues of the economy, gun control, healthcare and much more. And oftentimes, control of these legislatures comes down to just a few districts and a few hundred votes. 

 

We know that continued investments in the states will be critical under a Trump presidency. State-level action will be key to defending our rights and advancing progressive power.

 

Since 2016, we have endorsed candidates in 202 races across 18 states. As key fights continue to unfold in state legislatures, we want to hear from you — which state-level issues matter most to you?

 

Can you take a moment to fill out our survey and share which state-level issues matter most to you in this political moment? 

Thank you so much!
