Southern Swing States [View all]

Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and Georgia are basically swing states in the south. Southern Democrats in these states need to get better organized at the precinct and county levels if we really want to turn these states blue in future elections. I'm a big believer in local grass roots, but the only way we can do that is through volunteering and donating to local affiliates. If we can get good grassroots on the ground in these states, we can turn these states blue in election after election.

North Carolina is important. The courts struck down the districts, and it is being redistricted before the next state legislative election. I know I'm going to do what I can to help Democrats win in these friendlier districts.
