We’re all sick & tired of election experts lecturing us about how vitally important it is to win as many state legislative races as possible; states are the laboratories of democracy, state legislatures control redistricting, voting laws and abortion rights, etc etc etc.
Here’s the problem: Unlike statewide races, where most people know which ones are blue, purple or red...hardly anyone knows whether “Michigan’s 54th State House District” or “Iowa’s 43rd State Senate District” are remotely winnable. Hell, most people who live in the district probably don’t know.
There's nearly 7,400 state legislative districts nationally, but 4 states hold their legislative elections in odd-numbered years. In the other 46 states, around ~1,200 are considered competitive; I have ~380 of those listed below w/more on the way.
All districts listed below include the partisan lean rating according to Dave's Redistricting.
With a handful of exceptions, all are ranked R/D +10 or closer.
As of this writing I've raised over $470,000 for Democrats up & down the ballot this cycle. I'm hoping to reach $3 million by Election Day.
It's important to note that I do not have a PAC! The links below simply go to ActBlue pages which allow you to donate to multiple candidates at once.
100% of donations raised through these links goes directly to the individual candidate campaigns & left-leaning organizations listed on the pages linked to.
Scroll down to see the lists of individual candidates.
Donations are split evenly across all listed races by default, but you can also pick & choose which to donate to using the "customize amounts" option at each link.
States where Republicans currently control both the state House and Senate but Democrats have a decent chance at flipping one or both:
States where Republicans currently control one chamber, Democrats control the other, and either could flip either way:
States where Democrats currently control both chambers but one or both are at risk of being lost to GOP control:
States where Republicans currently control both chambers; little chance of flipping either one blue, but supermajorities can be broken/prevented:
Here’s the actual candidates included at each link. “TBD” will be filled in after the primary passes. A few may change due to the nominee having to drop out/etc:
