Special Elections Will Be Held in Minnesota, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Florida
his week, special elections in Minnesota, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Florida will determine the control of five state legislative seats. State legislatures can make laws about everything from reproductive rights — or lack thereof — to net neutrality to health care.
“The work that we do to win back state legislatures truly is foundational,” Jessica Post, executive director of the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, tells Teen Vogue. “We’ve aggressively invested in special elections — they’re a key part of our strategy, and we’re encouraged by the wins we’ve had.”
Special elections aren’t just conversation topics for political organizers anymore — they’re drawing attention from everyone, including celebrities. “On Monday, February 12th, Karla Bigham and Melissa Wagner are running for State House and State Senate seats in Minnesota,” tweeted Chelsea Handler. “They have a chance to replace two men who were forced to resign after allegations of sexual misconduct. Please retweet and spread the word!”
