State legislative seats can be won. They cannot be won, however, if nobody runs. There's your initial problem. Get someone to run or run yourself. File papers, get the required signatures and start knocking on doors and showing up wherever anyone will listen to you. Get your friends to do the same.
Or, help whoever has the temerity to run in such a district. Same process.
In my state senate district, a Hmong immigrant named Foung Hawj won. He personally knocked on doors, and got the entire Hmong community out to do the same. He didn't even have money for yard signs. He won. He's our State Senator, in a district in the capital city of our state, St. Paul, MN.
He and his community and friends, including myself, worked our asses off to get him elected. It can be done.
No Democratic candidate in a state House district? That's shameful. If nobody runs, of course the Republican wins. Run or get someone to run.
