The Democratic National Committee is sending money to each of its state counterparts for the first time in its history.
The DNC will spend $2.5 million on all 50 state-affiliated Democratic parties, Politico reported. The investment looks to break up Republican supermajorities in deep-red states and increase voter engagement across the country.
“Money like this can really make or break state legislative district races,” DNC spokesman Cameron Niven said.
“The statehouses are really where change can happen, where a strategic investment like this can make a difference,” Niven continued.
The DNC is sending more than $400,000 to Florida, which it believes is “a priority state that we know Democrats can win,” according to a press release. It is also sending money to New York and Pennsylvania. The DNC will focus on Puerto Rican voter engagement in these three states.
It is also investing in deep-red states such as Idaho, Louisiana, and Missouri.
