One thing I feel my group and many others demonstrated in 2020 was that there's no relationship between political giving to state house races and the outcomes of those elections. In fact, there's some evidence it backfires. Hold on to your wallets with both hands.https://twitter.com/BobbyBigWheel/status/1405601078478098432 …
I think the nationalization of these state legislative elections is a new development and a tough nut to crack. What do you do when you're running in a district with 9,000 voters and your opponent is not even running against you, but haranguing against Nancy Pelosi and socialism?

Take the example of Iowa. The 2020 state legislative races were not a case of money just pouring in haphazardly, there was a long-term strategy to run good candidates in what seemed like the best chance in years to win the house. But it got steamrollered by the national dynamic.

Do you have any background info on IA's state races? My main experience is with the Democrats in New Mexico.
