Post-Election Breakdown with Governor Terry McAuliffe

Terry McAuliffe served as governor of Virginia from 2014-2018, where he focused on leading Virginia to a more progressive future. He also served as chair of the Democratic National Committee from 2001-2005. This week, The DLCC and Democrats flipped nearly 400 (and counting!) state legislative seats and flipped our 7th chamber of the cycle. This means, 116 million Americans will live in Democratic-led states where we can expand access to health care, safeguard Roe v. Wade, and protect LGBTQ+ citizens and communities of color. But we're not done yet! Before we start thinking about 2020, Democrats still have major state legislative races in 2019, including taking back the House and Senate in Virginia. On this episode. Jessica talks with former Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe about all our big election wins, the importance of Democratic state legislatures, and what we can do to win back both chambers in Virginia next year. * Follow us on social media Facebook Twitter: @thedlcc Instagram: @dlcc * More about our host: Jessica Post is the Executive Director of the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, where she leads the national strategy for electing more state Democrats and winning legislative majorities.
