Over the next three months, Grassroots Democrats will be visiting a number of states to work with their Online and Finance teams. With each state we visit, we will release a "briefing" page that spotlights the political atmosphere on the ground, the challenges faced by the State Party and how Grassroots Democrats will help them move beyond these obstacles.Our first trip, to Indiana, is scheduled for  June 4 - 7 and is the focus of our first state briefing.

Indiana will be critical on both the state and national levels in this election cycle. While a deeply red 'Presidential, state, Indiana Dems made significant strides on the state and local level in the last election. In 2008, Democrats must defend five House seats- three of which are identified by Republicans as part of their top-tier list. On the strategic front, the State Party is targeting two Republican-held House seats. Democrats must also increase their new and tenuous majority in the State House to be able to impact the redistricting process that will begin in 2010.
