DNC will send funding to all state parties to support down-ballot races

15. I think (aside from it happening during the pandemic), the 2020 Census was front and center for Democrats

which resulted in this org - National Democratic Redistricting Committee

They were created in 2017 and spearheaded/run by Eric Holder. They have been at the forefront of much of the redistricting efforts and "fair maps", ahead of, and then post-2020 Census, as well as participating in the legal challenges.

This effort helped to start to unwind much of the 2010 maps which resulted in Democrats re-taking the House in 2018 (and that was helped along thanks to the redrawing of the gerrymandered Congressional Districts here in PA that took us from 13 (R) - 5 (D) to 9 (R) - 9 (D) seats (a net of 4 new (D) seats in Congress). That was before 2020. After the 2020 Census, when PA lost a seat, that "lost seat" was a (R) seat, so the delegation is now 9 (D) - 8 (R). You have similar going on right now in NY, where they redrew lines (finally) to fix the mess that they did in 2020 that resulted in 6 lost (D) seats.

Similarly they had been working through the gerrymandered state House/Senate, creating something like 7 more (D) "trifectas" by 2019, and for the first time in a dozen years, Democrats reclaimed the state House here in PA (barely... but a win was a win and the Speaker's gavel is ours, as well as the Committee Chairs).

So it IS going on - and can be seen by the increase in (D) state "trifectas" - https://ballotpedia.org/State_government_trifectas
