(10,824 posts)In the 2020 midterms, lots of NC House and Senate seats went uncontested. You can't win the House or Senate if you're not running in the races to be elected!
Once elected how is the party reaching out to the electorate? Do people know who their elected officials are - from city, county, state and federal? Though she's a Republican and no longer in office, Cheri Berry achieved some name recognition by having her picture in elevators. What are Democrats doing?
Someone in NC needs to adopt a 100 county strategy.
Also got to get a feels for people. The GOP have done an awful lot of damage this session. Easier to get guns. Harder to get reproductive healthcare. Book banning. Drag show restrictions. Transgender restrictions. Even dangerous cars on the road.
Democrats can win in NC at the state level. However NC Democratic leadership is disorganised, inept, relying too much on the urban vote and not working the rural areas needed to win. And also not connecting with the voters once elected to stay in office.
Need more people like Jeff Jackson. But at the local level.
