| Hi Pamela— We're Sister District, an organization dedicated to building power for progressives in state legislatures. State legislature races are often overlooked, but we firmly believe they make an outsized impact. That's because state legislatures are usually the first places we can look for groundbreaking policy that may later grow to national prominence. It's why we focus exclusively on state legislatures, and why we continue to see returns on our investments years down the line. This election cycle, we just rolled out our 2024 plan for seven battleground states: Arizona, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin, and North Carolina. Sister District will organize, invest, and work hand-in-hand with candidates across these seven presidential battlegrounds this year. And if we have the additional resources, we'll go even bigger and expand our plans to include New Hampshire and Minnesota. If you're ready to join our efforts to build the infrastructure and lasting progressive power in these seven state legislatures, add your name today. Republicans are laser-focused on winning not only the 2024 presidential election but also winning power at the state level. The coming months will be critical, and we must lay the groundwork now for Democratic wins up and down the ballot in November. That's why we're reaching out to reliable Democratic advocates like you to step up and help us enact our plan. Whether you can donate, join a phonebank, or knock doors to register voters, every action counts toward our ultimate goal of Democratic wins up and down the ballot. Sign on now if you're ready to help Sister District make an outsized impact in our seven battleground states. Or, read on if you want to know more about our plan: Sister District uses a data-driven approach to select strategic seats in chambers that are critical to gaining or maintaining Democratic control. This year, we've specifically chosen chambers that are presidential battlegrounds — and many have critical Senate, Gubernatorial, and Congressional contests this year as well. Our work at the state legislative level will reverberate up to the top of the ballot. Every year, our political strategy involves endorsing and supporting candidates in three types of state legislative chambers: blue flips, blue holds, and blue inroads. Here's a look into our seven target states and the opportunities for each: Blue Flips Arizona: 2 seats needed to flip the State Senate and 2 seats needed to flip the State House Pennsylvania: 4 seats needed to flip the State Senate blue Blue Holds Nevada: Dems hold a majority by only 3 seats in the State Senate and 8 seats in the State Assembly Michigan: Dems will likely hold a majority by only 2 seats in the State House Pennsylvania: Democrats will likely hold a majority by only 1 seat in the State House Blue Inroads Georgia: New legislative maps remain gerrymandered in favor of Republicans, but open seats and new districts provide opportunities for Democratic inroads Wisconsin: Democrats need to flip 6 seats in the Senate to gain majority and 1 seat to break Republican supermajority North Carolina: Open seats and new districts provide opportunities for Democratic inroads and to break the Republican supermajority in each chamber that allows them to override the Governor's veto Taken together, we enter 2024 well-positioned to maintain control of vulnerable chambers, flip a few more, and make inroads in longer-term strategic states. But we know that it will take a tremendous amount of resources, energy, and attention to win at this level of the ballot. That's why we're asking if you'll please support our 2024 plans by signing on today. We'll follow up with you and give you options for getting involved and supporting our plans for 2024. Thank you for joining our team, Sister District Project |
