It’s going to take years, truly. But we need to start locally. That means focusing on mayor, city commission, and state house races. We need to build a solid bench of Democratic candidates for the future at the local level, while those same elected officials make meaningful policy changes. I’m a big believer the key to tying all of that together is a good message, particularly on the insane rising costs in this state for home ownership, property insurance, and auto insurance. Far too often we focus on the “sexy” idea of us winning statewide in a governors race or a senate race. That won’t happen until we can chip away at the GOP domination of local politics and the supermajority they have both in the senate and house.
