Friend,

Did you know that 1/2 of all U.S. presidents started out in state
politics? It’s true: Lincoln, FDR, and Obama are just a few who launched
their careers in the states.

At Flippable, we’re working to flip states blue—so we can build a strong
progressive bench for the next 50 years!

[1]States Build a Progressive Bench

Serving at the state level gets political up-and-comers ready to run for
national office. Democratic leaders like Mazie Hirono, Maxine Waters, and
Patty Murray made their way to the national stage via state governments.

The more Dems we have in state government now, the more Dems we’ll have
ready to run for Congress & the presidency in the future. Unfortunately,
we have a lot of catch-up to do: Republicans have 500 more state
legislators in their pipeline right now.

The good news? Dems have been running in record numbers since the 2016
elections—and they’ve been winning!

* Dems have flipped more than 400 seats since November 2016
* More women, people of color, and openly LGBTQ+ legislators are
running—and making history
* State offices are a great way for non-wealthy people to participate in
government

State races are cheap & essential

Another great reason to flip states blue? States are the best value for
your time and money.

[3]States Are the Best Value For Your Time and Money

State elections cost $150K (on average). That’s one-tenth the cost of a
congressional race—and one-hundredth the cost of a Senate race! Every
dollar of your grassroots donation can go a lot farther in state
elections.

And your time on the campaign trail can pay big dividends. Research from
the nonprofit sector tells us that one hour of volunteer time produces
about $24 in value for campaigns. By knocking on doors, text banking, or
phone banking, you can power inspiring state candidates over the finish
line. [ [link removed] ]Sign up to receive volunteer opportunities from Flippable
