Case Studies

Delivering for North Carolina's First Congressional District

Following Congressman Don Davis’ narrow victory in 2022, a new Republican majority on the North Carolina Supreme Court allowed North Carolina Republicans to implement an extreme gerrymander designed to flip four Congressional seats from Democrats to Republicans, including Davis’ Eastern North Carolina district. In a region that has already shifted away from Democrats, the new map cut Black voters out of a district that has been represented by a Black member of Congress since 1992.

Candidate-and Campaign-Quality Matters: Case Study in Arizona

Like every other Democratic candidate running in a swing state, Senator Mark Kelly faced formidable challenges in 2022. The President drew sharp criticism, inflation raged, crime rates jumped and Arizona took center stage in the immigration crisis. Early polling suggested a tight election.

Re-electing Maggie Hassan in New Hampshire

In New Hampshire, Senator Maggie Hassan sought re-election to a second term in the U.S. Senate against challenger Don Bolduc. In 2016, Hassan had won by just 1,017 votes, representing the tightest margin of any Senate race that cycle.

Congressman Matt Cartwright: Appealing to Voters Across the Aisle

In PA-08, a district that voted for Trump twice, Congressman Matt Cartwright faced a challenging race for reelection. In a tough midterm environment for Democrats, Cartwright needed to demonstrate broad appeal to win over both Trump and Biden voters against two-time challenger Jim Bognet.

Bringing it Home in Ohio's 13th Congressional District

Ohio State House Minority Leader Emilia Sykes faced an uphill challenge in Ohio’s redrawn 13th Congressional District. In a majority white district, Sykes was running to become the first Black woman to represent the 13th in a midterm environment that many thought would favor Republicans.
