Democrats find hope in state legislative races

Democrats find hope in state legislative races
SHARE

After the 2024 election, Democrats are finding hope in the results from state legislatures. While they did face setbacks, such as losing the Michigan state House, the overall down-ballot losses were not as devastating as expected. Despite Vice President Kamala Harris losing every swing state in the presidential race, Democrats were able to maintain their majorities in key states like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and even broke the GOP supermajority in North Carolina.

Heather Williams, the head of Democrats’ state legislative campaign arm, expressed optimism about their ability to hold their own in crucial states despite losses at the top of the ticket. She highlighted the importance of learning from these results to build on their successes in future cycles. However, Republicans, like outgoing State Leadership Committee President Dee Duncan, see the results as an utter disaster for Democrats.

One key takeaway from this election cycle is the need for more financial support and attention from the national party for down-ballot races. Democratic groups like the States Project have emphasized the lack of investment in state legislative campaigns from the national party. Despite this, Democratic state legislative candidates were able to largely defy national electoral trends due to record levels of funding from sources like the DLCC and the DNC.

Looking ahead, Democrats are preparing for ongoing power struggles in state legislatures. With vacancies in Virginia and Michigan due to state legislators being elected to Congress, there are potential ties in state legislatures that could impact decision-making. Special elections will be held to fill these vacancies, with control of key chambers hanging in the balance.

In Virginia, Democrats are gearing up for high-stakes battles for control of the state House and Senate. Recent results have shown promising signs for Democrats, with Vice President Harris winning a significant number of state House districts. However, Party Chair Susan Swecker cautioned against drawing premature conclusions from the recent election and emphasized the need for a thorough analysis of what happened.

Overall, Democrats are cautiously optimistic about their future prospects in state legislatures. By learning from the successes and setbacks of the 2024 election, they are working towards building a stronger foundation for upcoming cycles. The ongoing power struggles in key states like Virginia and Michigan will continue to shape the political landscape, with both parties vying for control at the state level.
