The States

Democrats need to flip four seats in the State House to strengthen the progressive make-up of the majority governing coalition and expand LGBTQ protections in Alaska.

Arizona has a long history of attacking LGBTQ people. Democrats are two seats away from flipping the State House and three seats away from flipping the State Senate.

With complete control of the state, Republicans have not passed any LGBTQ legislation in Florida. Democrats need four seats to win control of the State Senate.

Republicans have continued to attack LGBTQ people legislative session after session. Increasing the number of Democrats in the legislature would strengthen the backstop against anti-LGBTQ bills in Georgia.

In 2018, Kansas elected Democratic Governor Laura Kelly, whose first official act was to reinstate protections for LGBTQ workers. We need three seats to break the Republican supermajorities in both legislative chambers.

Advocates in Michigan have been trying to pass comprehensive and inclusive nondiscrimination protections aggressively for the past decade. Four seats are needed to elect a pro-equality majority in the State House.

In 2020, North Carolina will have major races - from the governor and attorney general to the state supreme court and legislature - that will impact the lives of LGBTQ people. 

Local and national advocates have been working to advance pro-LGBTQ legislation in Pennsylvania. Electing a pro-equality legislative majority will bring the bill to Gov. Wolf's desk.

With eyes on redistricting, Texas Democrats need nine seats to pick up the State House majority. Local advocates are building power and preparing for the fights ahead.

Democrats need four seats to take control of the West Virginia Senate. LGBTQ advocates are building momentum through local organizing around the state
