[quote=Anonymous]I am somewhat politically active, but at the state and local level. Here’s what I am seeing in my conservative, R-leaning state:

Democrats are mobilizing thanks to Trump, especially younger women, older women who remember pre-Roe, and suburban women in general. This mobilization will not be enough to take electoral votes from Trump, but I think it will be enough to send our Democratic Congresswoman back for another term. It may also be enough to send a Democratic woman (former Republican) to the United States Senate in 2020.

What I am actually most excited about is our statehouse-level elections. Suburban women are running for office. Most of these women were previously moderate Republican, but have changed parties and they are already working on 2020. Some are already canvassing.

Our current governor is a Democratic woman, but our statehouse actually became more conservative Republican in 2018. This is almost completely due to Koch funding of extreme Libertarian candidates posing as Republicans. Key moderate Republicans were picked off in the 2018 Republican primary. Our statehouse is the battleground and we are like David to the Koch Goliath. But Trump is actually helping- mobilizing women to do something before it is too late for our daughters.

I realize this is anecdotal, but if my state is like other red states we may get necessary change at the state level, even if the national level is not a sweep. Those few who have money to spare should consider donating in red states that have a chance to hold and/or flip congressional seats blue.
