Democrats have played catchup in state legislative races since the Republican wave eight years ago. The goal is to back state Democratic candidates who could have a say in drawing new districts after 2020. The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee is spending another $35 million for 2018; and Forward Majority, a Democratic super PAC, plans to spend more than $20 million on state legislative ads, the Journal reported. During the Obama years, the GOP flipped 958 state legislative seats. Of those, 37 also pick state legislative districts.
