I'm so pleased to announce that the Great Slate is back for 2020! This year, we are going to put all our energy into winning four competitive Senate races—in Maine, Alaska, Colorado, and Iowa—by backing our 2018 alumni running again in rural House districts in those states.

After filing deadlines and primaries pass, we will also be funding a "State Slate" of 30-50 [feral] state candidates, both in heavily gerrymandered states where we have hope of fairer redistricting, and in competitive Senate states.

The calculus is simple: every competitive race is going to be saturated with political ads, and the presidential race will drive everything. Our best hope for turning out new votes, and persuading the few persuadable voters, is lower on the ticket. It's a complementary strategy.
