EXCLUSIVE — The Republican State Leadership Committee, the official GOP committee tasked with winning state and local elections, will deploy a new get-out-the-vote strategy in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and other key states ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, the Washington Examiner learned. 

Key to the GOP’s local strategy is combating a decline in voter turnout from 2024’s presidential election, bucking a trend that historically occurs during midterm cycles. To accomplish this, the RSLC intends to identify low-propensity voters early and engage with them consistently on “hyperlocal” kitchen table issues using paid canvassers in an effort to build trust and get them out to the polls come Election Day 2026.
