The Democrats have a good chance at winning a supermajority in the State House this year, with at least 10 GOP-held seats in danger. The State Senate? Best wait until 2028 for that. 3265 0

This district is majority-Hispanic and swung from Biden+15 to Harris+1. If it swing back hard, the Dems could flip both State House seats here. 1194 0
