Battleground State Legislatures
With so much attention being focused on the Democrats’ chances of taking back the U.S. House and Senate, Rachel Kapochunas of CQ Politics has written a tidy little piece about the party’s chances for also gaining at the state level.
Currently, Republicans control 20 state legislatures and Democrats control 19, while 10 legislatures are split. (Nebraska has a unicameral, nonpartisan legislature.) Historically, the minority party tends to gain state legislative seats in midterm elections.
The Forward is free to read but not free to produce
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
