I had never realized that there were uncontested races and the impact of that on local and state politics until reading Jess Piper from Missouri. It seems to me that it all comes down to those state and local races. The media is focused on national races. But what affects peoples' lives every day happens at the local and state level. What you're doing is majorly important!
It took Dems a long time to (stupidly) get ourselves in this fix—abandoning states as un-winnable and letting a thousand offices a year go unchallenged. I am encouraged and somewhat awestruck that you are taking this on, and that you have had so much early success. Ten years from now—and maybe even sooner—some of these states will have a Democratic delegation in Congress, and an internal Democratic state government.
Thank you for the work you and your team are doing.
