Vote Save America x Sister District State Power Series: Getting out the Vote to Build State Power

This panel, taking place just two weeks before the 2022 midterm elections, recaps the work done ahead of the midterms and highlights key trends with a particular focus on critical state races and what to keep an eye out for on election night. The panel also explored differences in state power between the right and the left, and why it is so important that Democrats shift their focus to states—in these midterms and in the long-term. Importantly, the panel is also a call to arms to drive volunteer capacity to state legislative races in this critical GOTV period, as well as encourage listeners to commit to building power in statehouses every year.
