YES! 100% – and it's exactly what Every State Blue (https://everystateblue.org/) has been doing since 2017, with state projects in Missouri, Ohio, Texas, and now TN. Importantly, the support that our projects provide goes out via a "bottom-up bathtub" method of funding, where we fund first the nominees that have the least. Here's why that's so critical: Too often the folks in the reddest, roughest, toughest, "unwinnable" districts get no support – even though they're running against the most extreme legislators, and are on the front lines of the rural messaging fight. We've changed that, creating a funding floor that make sure they have resources for yard signs, postcards, and gas money to reach rural voters. Thanks for sharing how important it is to fight and run everywhere!
This is true and I’ve seen it happen in the state of Virginia as I’ve played my own little role in turning the Commonwealth from lean red to lean blue over a 15 year period. Recruiting solid candidates in every race, plus building and maintaining the party infrastructure, really makes a difference. Other than supporting individual candidates, I also donate to swing state Democratic parties, which pays off for all of these reasons.
Some people get turned off by national politics, but everyone cares about potholes on their street!
Our community group - "Postcards 4 Democracy - West Seattle" - meets at C&P Coffee in West Seattle to write postcards, talk about the news, and drink coffee!
Getting addresses from Field Team 6, Markers 4 Democracy, Environment Voter Project, Activate America and more, we postcard and textbank for races across the country, from Protasciewicz in Wisconsin, village elections in Baldwinsville & Fayetteville NY, school board in Orange County CA etc.
It feels great to be taking effective action by connecting with communities all over! And drinking coffee!

Lmfao. Another nonsense article about how the Dems can “save democracy.” Give it a rest.
