DNC invests heavily in state parties, taking the fight to Trump country
The Democratic National Committee will begin giving more than $1 million a month to state parties in order to bolster local organizing and build out the party infrastructure.
Under the new strategy, the DNC will increase monthly spending for state parties by $5,000, raising the baseline to $17,500. Republican-controlled states will receive a $10,000 increase, bringing their monthly total up to $22,500.
“Elections are won in states—and that’s exactly where we will be investing our resources,” DNC Chair Ken Martin said in a press release. “We have to organize everywhere and compete everywhere if we’re going to win everywhere.”
This comes at a time when the Democratic Party controls just 18 of 50 state legislatures, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Compare that with the Republican Party, which has power over 28.
