Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Ken Martin and Association of State Democratic Chairs (ASDC) President Jane Kleeb announced a historic “organize everywhere, win anywhere” strategy on Thursday.

The new four-year agreement is designed to deliver more resources into Democratic state and territory parties than ever before, including a baseline of $17,500 per month. In addition to the $5K per month increase over the last agreement, Republican-controlled states will receive an additional investment of $5,000 a month through the DNC’s Red State Fund

According to a press release, the $1 million commitment from the DNC to state parties will allow Democratic state parties to invest in critical infrastructure and staffing, strengthen their data and tech operations, build on-the-ground organizing programs, and better prepare for upcoming election cycles – not just in the months ahead, but in the years to come.

“With this announcement, we are breaking ground on a historic political investment unlike anything Democrats have done in modern times,” said Martin. “Elections are won in states – and that’s exactly where we will be investing our resources. When I ran for DNC Chair, I said two things over and over. First, we have to get the DNC out of DC and into the states. Second, we have to organize everywhere and compete everywhere if we’re going to win everywhere. This agreement is how we start turning those beliefs into reality.”

“When I ran to be the President of the ASDC, I knew the mission was clear: Democrats needed to rebuild infrastructure in the states and provide our state parties with the resources necessary to win. This historic agreement allows us to do just that: building infrastructure to expand Democratic power across our states and territories, be it in red, blue, or purple America,” said Kleeb.

“State parties are the backbone of the Democratic Party, and through this investment, our state parties will receive the support they need to show voters that, no matter where they live, there is a strong Democratic Party in their corner, protecting their rights and economic opportunity against Republican attacks.”

The strategy is a redux of the 50-state strategy that many Democrats credit with their decisive victories in the 2006 and 2008 elections.

Mitch Kates, Executive Director, Pennsylvania Democratic Party, is excited about the commitment, but emphasized that the DNC has always been there for the Keystone State.

“Ken ran for DNC chair by reinforcing the state parties as a fundamental part of the Democratic comeback strategy,” he said. “Now, the DNC is putting its money where its mouth is and not only Pennsylvania, but also so-called “red states” will benefit from this program.”
