Blue state DU, please donate $ to swing states that need total sweeps of GOP leadership.

Like NC, the once most progressive state in the south till a GOP governor and GOP-led legislature handed it over to the Koch Brothers and Art Pope so it could be turned into Kansas and Mississippi.

Seriously - we can take it all back with targeted financial attention, replacing Gov McCrory with Gov Roy Cooper, Sen Burr with Sen Deborah Ross and a GOP led legislature with a Dem led legislature.

The entire country will thank you, especially NC.

... for people outside of contested fights to adopt a senate and house candidate elsewhere. I'd asked about how to help out state legislature takeovers, but didn't get a response. This is good info. I made a one time donation via your link. One time because I've adopted the NH senate and district 1 house candidates.
