13. Stacey Abrams for head of DNC.

She would be great at devising a 50-state solution and for working with state Democratic Parties for state elections. We need to focus on winning more state elections.

In 2022, we risk losing more House seats and we have some important US Senate elections. Republicans will be defending 22 seats to our 12, but many of theirs are in reliably red states. I can see a possible pickup for Twomey’s seat in PA and maybe Ron Johnson’s if he chooses not to run again.

Most of the Democratic seats are safe, although Masto and Hassan might be at risk. Masto won with only 48% and Hassan with 47%. If we fail to win both of the GA seats, we’ll have a chance for a couple of sets in 2022, but that work needs to start soon, and having Stacey Abrams on the job would be great.
