In the first episode of our 2022 election series, host and NewDEAL CEO Debbie Cox Bultan talks with Jessica Post, President of the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC). They discuss the importance of state legislative elections in 2022 and how focusing on these races helps to build and maintain the power and influence of the Democratic Party from the bottom up. With so much at stake in 2022, from election oversight to laws around reproductive freedom, Jessica talks about how undervalued state legislatures are and helps us visualize where there are potential pickup opportunities and where Democrats need to defend slim majorities. Tune in to hear more from Jessica, including how she first got involved in public service.
