Throughout this past year, the Democratic National Committee has been focused on rebuilding and electing Democrats up and down the ticket. Through the Every ZIP Code Counts program, the new DNC is investing in state parties and races all across the country. The result? Democrats have flipped 33 seats from red to blue, including in deep red districts that Trump swept in 2016. <\/p>\n
“When we said the new DNC’s strategy is to organize and compete in every ZIP code, we meant it and it’s working. This year, Democrats flipped 14 seats in elections in New Hampshire, Florida, Oklahoma, New York, Georgia, and Washington, and on Election Day, we flipped at least 19 more seats in Virginia and New Jersey. This isn’t just a fluke, this is a trend,” said DNC CEO Jess O’Connell<\/strong>. “And what we’re seeing all across this country is that women are at the center of these wins. Not only are we seeing women elect Democrats, but Democrats won a majority of these seats because we had strong women candidates. Our work here is far from over. We will continue to mobilize and organize the way we did this year in order to be successful in 2018, 2019 and beyond.”<\/p>\n Democratic State Legislature Seat Flips in 2017:<\/strong><\/p>\n Virginia<\/strong><\/p>\n Jennifer Carroll Foy, HD-2<\/p>\n Wendy Gooditis, HD-10<\/p>\n Chris Hurst, HD-12,<\/p>\n Danica Roem, HD-13<\/p>\n Kelly Convirs-Fowler, HD-21<\/p>\n Elizabeth Guzman, HD-31<\/p>\n David Reid, HD-32<\/p>\n Kathy Tran, HD-42<\/p>\n Lee Carter, HD-50<\/p>\n Hala Ayala, HD-51<\/p>\n Karrie Delaney, HD-67<\/p>\n Dawn Adams, HD-68<\/p>\n Schuyler VanValkenburg, HD-72<\/p>\n Debra Rodman, HD-73<\/p>\n Cheryl Turpin, HD-85<\/p>\n New Jersey<\/strong><\/p>\n Troy Singleton, LD-7<\/p>\n Vin Gopal, LD-11<\/p>\n John Armato, AD-2<\/p>\n Roy Freiman, AD-16<\/p>\n Oklahoma<\/strong><\/p>\n Allison Ikley-Freeman, SD-37<\/p>\n Jacob Rosecrants, HD-46<\/p>\n Karen Gaddis, HD-75<\/p>\n Michael Brooks-Jimenez, SD-44<\/p>\n Georgia<\/strong><\/p>\n Deborah Gonzalez, HD-117<\/p>\n Jonathan Wallace, HD-119<\/p>\n Georgia SD-6*<\/p>\n *Runoff in December with two Democratic candidates<\/em><\/p>\n New Hampshire<\/strong><\/p>\n Erika Connors, Hillsborough County District 15<\/p>\n Edie DesMarais, Carroll County District 6<\/p>\n Charlie St. Clair, Belknap County District 9<\/p>\n Kari Lerner, Rockingham County District 4<\/p>\n Washington<\/strong><\/p>\n Manka Dhingra, LD-45<\/p>\n Florida<\/strong><\/p>\n Annette Taddeo, SD-40<\/p>\n New York<\/strong><\/p>\n Christine Pellegrino, AD-9<\/p>\n A lo largo de este año, el Comité Nacional Demócrata (DNC) se ha enfocado en reconstruir y elegir a demócratas de arriba a abajo en la boleta electoral. A través del programa ‘Cada código postal cuenta’, el nuevo DNC está invirtiendo en partidos estatales y campañas en todo el país. ¿El resultado? Los demócratas hemos logrado quitarle a los republicanos 33 asientos legislativos estatales en el 2017, incluso en distritos profundamente republicanos en los que Trump arrasó en el 2016.<\/p>\n “Cuando dijimos que la nueva estrategia del DNC es organizar y competir en cada código postal, lo decíamos en serio y está funcionando. A lo largo de este año, los demócratas ganamos en 14 asientos que eran republicanos en elecciones especiales en New Hampshire, Florida, Oklahoma, Nueva York, Georgia y el estado de Washington; el día de las elecciones, ganamos 19 asientos más en Virginia y Nueva Jersey. Esto no es sólo una casualidad, esta es una tendencia”, dijo la Directora Ejecutiva del DNC, Jess O'Connell.<\/strong> “Y lo que estamos viendo en todo el país es que las mujeres están en el centro de estas victorias. No sólo vemos que las mujeres apoyaron a candidatos demócratas, sino que ganamos en muchas de estas elecciones por tener candidatas fuertes. Nuestro trabajo no se ha acabado. Seguiremos movilizándonos y organizándonos como lo hicimos este año para tener éxito en 2018, 2019 y más allá”.<\/p>\n Asientos en legislaturas estatales los demócratas han quitado a los republicanos en 2017:<\/strong><\/p>\n Virginia<\/strong><\/p>\n Jennifer Carroll Foy, HD-2<\/p>\n Wendy Gooditis, HD-10<\/p>\n Chris Hurst, HD-12,<\/p>\n Danica Roem, HD-13<\/p>\n Kelly Convirs-Fowler, HD-21<\/p>\n Elizabeth Guzman, HD-31<\/u><\/p>\n David Reid, HD-32<\/p>\n Kathy Tran, HD-42<\/p>\n Lee Carter, HD-50<\/p>\n Hala Ayala, HD-51<\/u><\/p>\n Karrie Delaney, HD-67<\/p>\n Dawn Adams, HD-68<\/p>\n Schuyler VanValkenburg, HD-72<\/p>\n Debra Rodman, HD-73<\/p>\n Cheryl Turpin, HD-85<\/p>\n New Jersey<\/strong><\/p>\n Troy Singleton, LD-7<\/p>\n Vin Gopal, LD-11<\/p>\n John Armato, AD-2<\/p>\n Roy Freiman, AD-16<\/p>\n Oklahoma<\/strong><\/p>\n Allison Ikley-Freeman, SD-37<\/p>\n Jacob Rosecrants, HD-46<\/p>\n Karen Gaddis, HD-75<\/p>\n Michael Brooks-Jimenez, SD-44<\/u><\/p>\n Georgia<\/strong><\/p>\n Deborah Gonzalez, HD-117<\/u><\/p>\n Jonathan Wallace, HD-119<\/p>\n Georgia SD-6*<\/p>\n *Una segunda vuelta se realizará en diciembre con dos candidatos demócratas<\/em><\/p>\n New Hampshire<\/strong><\/p>\n Erika Connors, Hillsborough County District 15<\/p>\n Edie DesMarais, Carroll County District 6<\/p>\n Charlie St. Clair, Belknap County District 9<\/p>\n Kari Lerner, Rockingham County District 4<\/p>\n Washington<\/strong><\/p>\n Manka Dhingra, LD-45<\/p>\n Florida<\/strong><\/p>\n Annette Taddeo, SD-40<\/u><\/p>\n New York<\/strong><\/p>\n Christine Pellegrino, AD-9<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Throughout this past year, the Democratic National Committee has been focused on rebuilding and electing Democrats up and down the ticket.
