New Statewide Flip, with wins up & down the ballot
You are viewing The Plan to Win 2020. Feel free to explore our past strategy, or jump to The Plan to Win 2022 here.
Despite its relatively recent history as a solidly purple state, Democrats have been winning statewide for at least the last two cycles: Hillary Clinton won with a five point margin in 2016 and, in 2018, Governor Jared Polis more than doubled Clinton’s margin, winning the governorship by 10.4%. In 2020, Colorado’s 9 Electoral Votes were won by Biden though Trump declared Colorado as a target along with Nevada, New Mexico, and New Hampshire so it could not be written off. And, the organizations instate mobilized their communities to not just deliver electoral votes and flip a Senate seat, but to deepen the progressive elected's bench and push back an anti-abortion measure that was polling far too close for comfort, demonstrating a replicable model of a multi-year progressive takeover.
