6. Remember what the great Tip O'Neill always noted

We spend so much time attacking our "national" leadership and not enough promoting the "state/local". I.e., "50 State Strategy".

Every state is different with different governors and legislative bodies from both parties, different state Constitutions, different needs, and different priorities. So one size will not fit "all' dictated from the top by consultants who are narrowly focusing. It's gotta be bottom up and that will help to inform some of the most common issues nationally. We must also understand that in all of our states, there are "turf battles" that can thwart any "national" agenda, so navigating that will need to be managed.

We need to claw back our states election after election and that is slowly happening.
