Opportunity States
Pick a State, Pick a County, Pick a Strategy...
Each of these states represent multiple opportunities.
Some are barely purple states with counties that largely vote red, but have low voter registration.
Others are on the cusp of flipping blue and just need a nudge.
One thing is for certain: The more we flip blue, the better our chances of regaining our democracy.
So pick your strategy - but please help. Make your campaign dollars work harder by funding the places that need it most.
Then fund the fight at the grassroots level.
ARIZONA

In the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Arizona reverted to Republican control when Donald Trump captured the state’s 11 electoral votes, defeating Democrat Kamala Harris with about 52.2% to 46.7% of the vote. This margin of victory (~5.5 points) was the largest for a Republican in Arizona since 2012 and marked the first time in over a decade that a presidential candidate won the state with an outright majority. Voter turnout, however, declined slightly from 2020, reaching about 57.6% of the eligible electorate. Arizona represents a significant opportunity for grassroots funding to support canvassing, voter registration, and getting out the vote. One notable dynamic in the state was ticket-splitting: despite Trump’s win, Arizona voters elected Democrat Ruben Gallego to the U.S. Senate, making him the state’s first Latino senator. Overall, the result underscored Arizona’s continued status as a dynamic battleground, with competitive outcomes even within the same ballot across offices.
MICHIGAN

In the 2024 general election in Michigan, former President Donald Trump carried the state’s 15 electoral votes by a narrow margin—about 49.7 % to roughly 48.3 %—flipping the state back to the Republicans after Democrats won it in 2020. Meanwhile, in the U.S. Senate race the Democrat Elissa Slotkin narrowly held the seat for her party despite Trump’s win in the state. At the legislative level, Republicans gained control of the Michigan House of Representatives, flipping several seats and shifting the chamber to 58 Republicans vs. 52 Democrats.
NEW HAMPSHIRE

In the 2024 general election, New Hampshire voters demonstrated a mix of partisan choices. Democrat Kamala Harris narrowly won the state's four electoral votes in the presidential race, defeating Republican Donald Trump by approximately 2.8 percentage points, marking the closest margin in the nation in terms of raw vote difference. In the gubernatorial contest, Republican former U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte defeated Democrat Joyce Craig, the former mayor of Manchester, to retain the governorship for the GOP At the federal level, Democrats maintained their hold on New Hampshire's congressional delegation; incumbent Chris Pappas was re-elected in the 1st District, and newcomer Maggie Goodlander won the open 2nd District seat. Despite these outcomes, Republicans retained control of the state legislature and Executive Council. Voter turnout was notably high, with a record 834,651 ballots cast.
NEW MEXICO

In the 2024 general election in New Mexico, Democrats maintained their control of the major statewide federal offices: Kamala Harris won the state’s five electoral votes for president by roughly a 6-point margin over Donald Trump. In the U.S. Senate race, incumbent Martin Heinrich (D) was reelected to a third term, defeating Republican challenger Nella Domenici. All three U.S. House seats in the state were also retained by Democrats, leaving the partisan balance in the House delegation unchanged. At the state legislative level, there were minimal shifts: Democrats retained majorities in both chambers, with Republicans gaining one seat in each chamber but not enough to shift control. Notably, the election also faced some operational challenges — including a significant increase in provisional ballots resulting from delays in same‑day voter registration processing.
NORTH CAROLINA

On November 5, 2024, North Carolina voters cast more than 5.7 million ballots — about 74 % of registered voters. In the state’s highest-profile races, Democrat Josh Stein won the governorship, defeating Republican Mark Robinson, while Republican Donald Trump carried the state’s 16 electoral votes in the presidential race. Meanwhile, Democrat Jeff Jackson won the Attorney General’s office, and incumbent Democrat Allison Riggs narrowly kept her seat on the state Supreme Court — by just 734 votes — after a prolonged legal challenge over absentee ballots. In legislative races, Republicans remained in control of the state House, but Democrats gained at least one seat, breaking the GOP’s super-majority there. In U.S. House races, Republicans expanded their delegation, winning 10 of North Carolina’s 14 seats. Overall, 2024 was a mixed outcome — a partisan split between statewide offices and federal representation — and set the stage for continued political tension in the state, especially given the narrow margins and legal scrutiny surrounding several contests.
VIRGNIA

In the 2024 general election in Virginia, Kamala Harris won the state’s 13 electoral votes with about 51.8% of the vote, defeating Donald Trump, who received roughly 46.0%. 41 of Virginia's 133 counties helped carry Harris's win. Meanwhile, in the U.S. Senate race, Tim Kaine (D) secured re-election with approximately 54.4% of the vote to his Republican opponent’s ~45.4%. For the U.S. House of Representatives, all 11 of Virginia’s seats were contested, and the party breakdown remained unchanged — Democrats held six and Republicans five — with the Democrats receiving about 51.4% of the statewide House popular vote to the Republicans’ 47.6%. Analysts noted that Virginia illustrated a trend where, despite a nationwide swing toward Republicans, the state’s federal races remained favorable to Democrats, though with somewhat narrower margins than in 2020.
GEORGIA

In Georgia’s 2024 general election, the state again played a key role as a battleground. Republican Donald Trump narrowly won Georgia’s 16 electoral votes, securing about 50.73% of the vote to Democrat Kamala Harris’s 48.53%. Republicans maintained control of both state legislative chambers—the Georgia House and Senate—with only small seat shifts favoring Democrats.
MINNESOTA

In the 2024 general election in Minnesota, the Democratic ticket prevailed in the presidential race with Kamala Harris winning the state’s 10 electoral votes after receiving about 50.9 % of the vote versus Donald Trump’s roughly 46.7 %. Meanwhile, in the U.S. Senate race, incumbent Democrat Amy Klobuchar secured a comfortable fourth term, defeating Republican Royce White by around 15-points.
NEW JERSEY

In the 2024 general election in New Jersey, voters turned out in robust numbers, with roughly 63 % of registered voters in Atlantic County casting ballots. At the top of the ticket, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, Andy Kim, won the open seat, succeeding the embattled former Senator Bob Menendez, who resigned amid corruption charges. In the presidential contest, the Democratic nominee carried the state—but by a margin much narrower than in previous cycles, reflecting a noticeable shift toward the Republicans. Meanwhile, all twelve U.S. House seats were contested, and the status quo largely held. Overall, the election underscored New Jersey’s ongoing Democratic lean in federal contests, but also signaled growing competitiveness and voter appetite for change.
NEVADA

In the 2024 general election in Nevada, voters flipped the state’s presidential vote to the Republican side as Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris by a margin of roughly 3.1 % (50.59 % to 47.49 %). At the same time, the Democratic incumbent senator, Jacky Rosen, narrowly won re-election, maintaining a Democratic U.S. Senate seat in a state that flipped for the GOP at the presidential level. On the state‐legislative side, Democrats retained control of both chambers, but Republicans gained enough seats in the Assembly to deprive Democrats of a veto-proof super-majority. Several key ballot measures also passed: a constitutional amendment guaranteeing abortion rights won approval, and a strong voter-ID requirement measure passed as well.
PENNSYLVANIA

In the 2024 general election in Pennsylvania (held November 5), Republicans had a strong showing: Donald Trump won the state’s 19 electoral votes with approximately 50.4% of the vote over Kamala Harris’s 48.7%. Meanwhile, in federal and statewide contests, Republicans flipped the U.S. Senate seat as Dave McCormick defeated three-term Democrat Bob Casey Jr. and the GOP picked up U.S. House seats, taking a 10-7 majority of Pennsylvania’s delegation. At the same time, the state House remained narrowly under Democratic control. Turnout reached nearly 77 %, and state officials certified the results without major legal challenges or certification delays.
WISCONSIN

In the 2024 general election in Wisconsin, the state once again took center-stage as a pivotal swing state, delivering a razor-thin victory for Donald J. Trump and his running mate JD Vance, who secured the state’s 10 electoral votes with about 49.6% of the vote compared to Kamala Harris’s roughly 48.7%. Although the margin—approximately 0.9 points—was extraordinarily small, this win marked the first time a Republican candidate captured Wisconsin twice. At the same time, Wisconsin voters re-elected Tammy Baldwin (D) to the U.S. Senate in a tight contest, winning by a similarly narrow margin and thereby preserving a key Democratic seat despite the state’s tilt toward the GOP at the presidential level.
