Subject: Fwd: AV Summit: Key Points from Day 1
Hi all,
Here's a quick rundown of key points from Day 1 of the AV Summit for
potential discussion tomorrow afternoon. These are highly anecdotal, Mary
or Jennifer pls feel free to add. Thanks all and see you tomorrow - GS
-There were repeated references by AV staff and many panelists about the
need to move beyond cycle-by-cycle targeting and to consider long-term
strategies to win back power in states with incremental gains to 2020 and
beyond.
-Redistricting: a three-prong strategy is needed: 1) traditional electoral
targeting; 2) opportunities to change the game thru registration and
engagement of RAE/NAM voters and ridding coattails of strong candidates on
top of ticket; 3) reform of the process via ballot or legislative
initiatives.
-Redistricting again: an initial analysis of unregistered, non-white
populations indicates that they reside disproportionately in swing state
legislative districts (not in Blue or Red leg seats - the very high
concentration of these voters in swing regions was far beyond expectations
and represents a big opportunity).
Here is the part of the email that references Gretchen
Tomorrow's sessions (partial list):
-We'll start the day with remarks from former MI Senate Minority Leader
Gretchen Whitmer about all that is at stake in the states from her
perspectives on fights against right to work (for far less), and assaults
on women's health care and reproductive freedom during her tenure.
