Democracy for America

I live around LA and have done so since first moving to the country more than 21 years ago. As I look at the local situation when it comes to housing affordability, I've strongly contemplated moving to another city in the US. If I want to move to another democratically run city or state, I can do so by moving up the coast or some other cities in the Midwest or Northeast. But, rather than do that, I plan on moving to a state that is either purple or turning purple. This helps to whittle down the list of states to just a few that I wouldn't mind moving to in order of my personal preference:

- North Carolina
- Texas
- Arizona
- Florida
- Wisconsin

If and when I do move to one of these states, I plan to do so in a district that is purple as well. I know I'll just be one vote, but when I do move there I'll be a lot more politically engaged in the local politics to help elect democrats. I urge others to consider doing the same. Leave the democratic havens and start turning the rest of the country purple. Donald Trump lost California by 3 million votes in 2016. If even 1 million of those voters were living throughout these other 4 states, the outcome of that election would be very different.
