The Battle for State Legislative Power with Gaby Goldstein and Shaniqua McClendon

Listen Later

Co-founder of Sister District, Gaby Goldstein, and the Senior Political Director at Crooked Media, Shaniqua McClendon discuss winning state legislative races as a strategy for saving democracy, and how Democrats can wrest back control from conservatives who’ve used state legislatures to rule from the minority. We also discuss what level of voter engagement is required to strengthen democracy. #midterms #midterms2022 #statepowerseries #midtermmadness #statelegislatures
