The House Democratic Caucus has changed its leadership to enable a more robust campaign effort and better messaging about the issues and our policies. Rather than leaving operation of the legislative campaigns in one person's hands, a team of legislators will work on the campaigns. House Democrats want to better coordinate with state and federal candidates and the other coordinated grassroots efforts.
House Democrats have a real fight on their hands. The Republicans have gerrymandered the legislative districts to their advantage and millions of dollars are being funneled to them from out-of-state right-wing groups who supported their anti-labor and public school privatization agenda.
We will have to re-double caucus fundraising efforts and harness the power of our grassroots volunteers to turn back the Republicans and their terrible policies.
