Despite still trailing their Republican counterparts in fundraising this cycle, a jolt of post Dobbs enthusiasm had the president of the Democrats’ main fundraising arm for state legislatures confident enough on Tuesday to declare optimism for flipping GOP majorities in three states.
“We know what we’re up against, but we are making a play to undercut GOP power in the Michigan House and Senate, the Minnesota Senate, and the New Hampshire House and Senate,” Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee President Jessica Post said on a conference call with reporters on Tuesday.
Post added that the DLCC would be adding two more Republican candidates to their so-called “insurrection witness list” of GOP lawmakers who were at the Capitol during the January 6 riot, including Wisconsin State Senate candidate Dave Estenson. Months after the riot, Estenson hosted a screening of the debunked ‘2000 Mules’ documentary.
