Our electoral strategy is a cornerstone of our organization’s overall strategy to build enduring progressive power in state legislatures. Our electoral strategy involves building power in three types of state legislative chambers: Blue Flips, Blue Holds, and Blue Inroads.

2022 Strategy

Target States: AZ, GA, MI, NC, NV, PA, and WI

Nested Opportunities: Prioritize states with nested competitive Senate, House, and Gubernatorial elections.

Redistricting Commissions: Prioritize states with redistricting commissions, where we expect new maps to be fairer for Democrats.

Incumbent Protection: Invest in fragile incumbents. Incumbent protection has always been a key component of our electoral strategy. We can expect many state legislative Democratic incumbents to face reelection challenges under new maps in Republican-controlled states. We must not lose our hard-won gains.
