70. We worked hard and turned the governor's seat Blue in WI.

But why do WI, MI, and PA get all the mentions when it comes to 2016 Republican wins and 2020 strategy?

There are several more red or purple states that Democrats won in 2008 or 2012: Indiana, North Carolina, Florida, and Iowa. 3 of 4 of these states are quite winnable (Indiana is the biggest challenge) and would be big pickups in 2020, not to mention any swiches in Ohio, Georgia, Texas, and Arizona.

I don't think it serves us to hyperfocus on WI. That being said, we have a big job to do to make sure the Democratic nominee wins here next fall. We're ready to put the work in and make it happen!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
