The top election forecaster just came out with a brand new prediction for this year’s midterms. Here’s what you need to know:
• Unfortunately, thanks to decades of gerrymandering, Republicans have an advantage at the state legislative level in 2022.
• But Democrats could have a major advantage: Voters are fed up with Trump-endorsed Republican extremists and abortion bans.
•
So there’s room for us to win in critical chambers in Maine, Michigan, and Minnesota!
We’ll be blunt – we’re fighting an uphill battle this year. But all hope is not lost – if grassroots Democrats like you stand together and mobilize, we can make critical gains in electing state Democrats across the country. Can you chip in $7 to help?

But the forecaster also gave us an important warning on how important state legislators are – check it out:
"In the coming years, state legislatures will almost certainly play a crucial role in American politics. Given the longstanding polarization and gridlock in Washington, D.C., state lawmakers will decide many key policies state-by-state — particularly on reproductive health issues if the Supreme Court overturns Roe vs. Wade this year.”

They’re so right. While Congress failed to codify Roe v. Wade into law, states like Connecticut and Illinois have protected the right to choose. If we’re able to win critical elections this year, we could protect abortion in even more states.
It’s not just abortion access – so much is at stake. Voting rights, affordable health care, and climate change are all on the ballot this fall. So we need Democrats everywhere to stand up and mobilize.
If you’re taking their warning to heart, can you chip in $7 or $25 today to elect state Democrats? Every cent helps to win seats, secure chambers, and build Democratic power in the states.
Together,
