Republican arm for state legislative races expands target map to include 4 states controlled by Democrats
CBSN
The main Republican committee for state legislative races aims to flip four more state chambers from Democratic control, seizing on widespread frustration with Democrats' handling of the economy, as inflation reached a new 40-year high on Wednesday.
The Republican State Legislative Committee (RLSC) has added Maine's House, Nevada's Senate, Oregon's Senate and Washington's House to its top targets this year, according to information first shared with CBS News. Democrats currently hold trifecta control — both chambers and the governor in these states are Democrats — in all four states, and all four chambers being targeted have single-digit margins that Republicans must overcome to take control.
The committee also included the Colorado state Senate and Minnesota state House on its top target list.
