WASHINGTON — Earlier this week, DLCC President Heather Williams and DLCC Political Director Jeremy Jansen hosted a press conference to discuss the most competitive state legislative battlegrounds and what to expect on Election Night. Every battleground chamber is expected to be decided by the slimmest of margins, and the DLCC is prepared for the results to come down to as few as a handful of votes. The DLCC also reflected on the challenges posed by the cycle and the work needed ahead to continue building Democratic power in the states. 

Check out coverage of the DLCC’s presser below:

The DLCC is the official arm of the Democratic Party with the sole mission of building Democratic power in the states and setting the national agenda at the state level. Over the last decade, we have fought cycle-over-cycle to gain a dozen new legislative chamber majorities and we are leading the effort to bring national attention and investment to our ballot level. State legislatures are the building blocks of our democracy and have the closest connections to Americans’ day-to-day lives. From protecting fundamental freedoms and voting rights to growing the middle class, the DLCC and state legislators are moving the Democratic agenda forward and shaping the future of this country.
