In #NewHampshire both legislative chambers flipped to Dem majorities in 2018. So far: A ban on firearms in the House chamber over Republicans' objections & a vote to require every lawmaker to undergo sexual harassment awareness training. Up next: a family medical leave bill.

"In #NewYork, where Democrats won full control of the Legislature, lawmakers have approved a bill that offers undocumented students access to state financial aid and scholarships and another that expands protections for the state’s abortion laws."

In #Colorado (Dems already controlled the House but they took the Senate): bills to expand access to affordable health care, allow the importation of prescription drugs from Canada & give 100 teachers as much as $5K a year each to help pay off college loans. #WhyStatesMatter

"And Democrats who now control the Senate in #Maine say they are seeking several measures that had been blocked or slowed by Paul LePage, the former Republican governor. Among them are Medicaid expansion and food stamps for asylum seekers."
