WASHINGTON – NBC is out with a new story on the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee’s winning streak and channeling that historic momentum into the 2024 election. After a full sweep of wins in 2022 and 2023, the DLCC has the strategy to win again in 2024, when forty-four states will have state legislative elections.
DLCC interim President Heather Williams and Senior Advisor and President Emerita Jessica Post spoke to NBC about the DLCC’s successes under their leadership and the opportunities to build Democratic progress on our 2024 “Path to the Majority” map.

From NBC:
- “‘2024 is the year of the states,’ [Jessica] Post declared. ‘We had such success in 2022 and 2023. And such successful state legislative sessions in 2023 from these new Democratic trifectas [in Michigan and Minnesota]. Hopefully people realize that there is so much power and so much power has moved to the states.’”
- “‘We realized that we had a winning strategy and that abortion was still very important issue to voters,’ said Heather Williams, the DLCC’s interim president.”
- “Hoping to build on the committee’s recent success, the DLCC’s goals include not only flipping state legislatures and protecting existing majorities, but also trying to break GOP legislative supermajorities in states like Georgia, Kansas, North Carolina and Wisconsin next year. Democrats are also keen to protect their existing majorities in the Minnesota House, the Michigan House and the Pennsylvania House while targeting both chambers of the GOP-controlled Arizona and New Hampshire legislatures, as well as the Pennsylvania Senate.”
DLCC interim President Heather Williams released the following statement:
“Democrats in state legislatures made incredible gains in 2022 and 2023 – and we’re just getting started. The swell of grassroots momentum we’re seeing, paired with our strategic 2024 target map, will make 2024 the most pivotal year yet. Fundamental freedoms and democracy continue to be on the ballot and decided in the states. The DLCC is ready to meet this moment and take our fight to the next level to flip key chambers in 2024.”

The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) is the official Democratic Party committee dedicated to winning America’s state legislatures and building state infrastructure. 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.
