For decades, the GOP has been building its organizing power by making deep and sustained investments in local political infrastructure all across the country. And it’s paying off. Since 1993 the number of states where Republicans control the Governor’s Office and both chambers of the legislature has jumped from three… to 26. From redistricting to state legislative power to federal judiciaries, Democrats are playing defense across the map.
Do you think that Democrats need to invest in the same kind of durable, local political infrastructure?
This is our moment! More states are in play than ever before. In fact, there’s ample opportunity for the progressive movement to make headway in historically red terrain.
Do you think Democrats should invest in robust local infrastructure to rebuild support in places like Appalachia and the Midwest – and sow fertile new ground in the Sun Belt, the Deep South, the Plains, and beyond?
The 2021-2022 election cycle brings us the decennial redistricting process where political maps – our “playing field” – will be reset for the decade to come. If we act fast, we can plot a savvy and strategic game plan to ensure we end the next decade in a better position than this one.
Are you ready?
