How We Win in 2024

MVP is investing in local groups organizing in all the key states and districts in 2024 to ensure a Blue Wave up and down the ballot and pass transformative policy in 2025.

Goal: A Federal + State-Level Blue Wave

Goal #1: Gain a Bold Federal Trifecta

  • Win the Presidency by maximizing turnout by youth, voters of color, and LGBTQ+ voters.
  • Bolster the U.S. Senate + gain the additional reliable vote needed to pass bold policy.
  • Reclaim the U.S. House by flipping five net seats.

Goal #2: Gain State & Local Power

  • End veto-proof GOP supermajorities to protect states from far-right MAGA extremism.
  • Win governorships to bring more state Executive Branches under Democratic control.
  • Win state chambers + down-ballot to increase progressive grassroots and governing power.

Strategy: Supercharge Local Organizing

Candidate campaigns only marginally shift turnout, and they close shop post-election. Local organizing drives turnout and builds power that lasts. 

  • Local organizers know their neighbors, and extensive research shows that “relational” outreach moves voters to action far more effectively than ads, robocalls, and mailings.
  • Local issues motivate voters to turn out when they might otherwise tune out.
  • Local organizers build bottom-up power that grows year-round, year after year.

How We’ll Win the Ground Game

In every top-priority state, we have crafted a comprehensive strategy to drive turnout, win in 2024, and build power for 2025 and beyond.

As an example, here is our Georgia 2024 Plan.

 

Targeting: Go Deep + Broad

Targeting “Toss-Up” races is essential but not enough. If we want to win crucial elections now while growing durable governing majorities long-term, we need to invest in a wider map. In 2024, we will:

  1. Win toss-up races, with targeting informed by on-the-ground expertise and political analysis.
  2. Protect at-risk seats deemed “Lean D” or “Likely D”, as an insurance policy for unexpected GOP gains.
  3. Expand the map, by flipping vulnerable GOP seats and setting the stage for 5-10 year victories.

Track Record

  • Then, on January 5, 2021, they helped deliver an unprecedented U.S. Senate double runoff victory in Georgial, giving Democrats a trifecta governing majority.
  • 2022 was supposed to be a Red Wave. But MVP partners defied the odds, picked up a seat in the Senate, came 6,675 votes shy of holding the House, and won a state Blue Wave.
  • In 2023, MVP partners helped Democrats flip the Wisconsin Supreme Court; helped defeat an anti-democratic ballot measure in Ohio; and helped win November elections in Kentucky, Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and elsewhere.
