While the presidential and U.S. congressional races get the most attention during election season, many voters are also concerned about statewide ballot and legislative issues. So we’re wondering: Which issues are amongst your biggest concerns in your state?
National Democrats have highlighted workers’ rights by aligning with unions, and 11 states will have abortion-related ballot measures (an issue that typically lures Democratic voters to the polls). But energy and environmental issues came up during the recent vice presidential debate — especially as two hurricanes recently pummeled southeastern red states.
Additionally, education reform has become a more pressing issue as Republicans and Christian conservatives seek to redirect taxpayer funds from public schools to for-profit private and religious schools that can discriminate without government oversight. In fact, Project 2025, the blueprint for Trump’s second term, advocates for this.
Naturally, these issues and the election itself all hinge on voting rights and reforms (including ranked-choice voting), which would increase access and representation at the ballot box.
