Op-Ed: Democrats should seize this recall as a practice round for the midterms (via latimesopinion)
The September election to recall California’s governor started as a political distraction, but it doesn’t have to be pointless. This round of voting is an opportunity for Democrats to build lasting relationships with the state’s nonwhite electorate — and to shape a generation of progressive politics for the state and the nation.
It’s hard enough to get many potential voters to pay attention and cast their ballots in midterm years, when the presidency is not on the ballot. California’s recall, falling outside even the midterm rhythm, is an opportunity to build and maintain engagement. California should be the national model for effective engagement of communities of color, but we can learn from other states as well. What turned Georgia and Arizona blue during the 2020 election? On-the-ground outreach from trusted messengers. Hitting the pavement to register voters. Communicating the political stakes.
Other states offer more lessons on how to appeal to voters of color. Both Republican and Democratic parties in Arizona, New Mexico and Florida have put Latino candidates on the ballot for top-tier races, helping voters see themselves reflected in political leadership.
