DLCC Targets PA House, Senate to Flip in 2020

[RandySF]

Democrats made gains in the Pennsylvania state House and Senate in the 2018 election, but the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee believes it is on the cusp of flipping both chambers and plans to invest heavily in the state in 2020.

First reported by the Washington Post, the DLCC announced that Pennsylvania is one of their seven target states included in their $50 million spending goal for 2020, aimed at flipping state legislatures before the next round of redistricting.

“Pennsylvania is a top target because it is very flippable,” Matt Harringer, DLCC National Press Secretary said. “It’s a state where we’re continuing to build and make progress and is trending bluer.”
In 2018, Democrats flipped 5 seats in the state Senate and 11 seats in the state House in Pennsylvania. The DLCC touted these results in the state plus their work helping state Sen. Pam Iovino (D-Allegheny) flip an Allegheny County seat in April 2019 as proof that they are capable of regaining a majority in the upcoming election.

“We are on complete offense in Pennsylvania, which is where you want to be as a party,” Harringer said.
Despite these gains, the Democratic Party would still need to unseat nine Republicans in the state House and four in the state Senate, while holding onto all of their seats to regain a majority.

1. Heavy lift

Very possibly the most absurdly gerrymandered districts in the country. Senate is almost completely unflappable. House has flipped, but it takes a wave election. If either chamber goes Democrat, it's gonna be a complete national wave election.
