In the wake of electoral losses suffered during the November 2014 elections, state-level Democrats have failed to coalesce around a plan to take back state governments across the country.

Last week, Democratic legislators met for three days at the first SiX Legislator Conference, hosted by the newly founded State Innovation Exchange (SiX), an organization that could be viewed as a liberal answer to the American Legislative Exchange Council. The conference took place in Washington, D.C. with over 200 legislators from roughly 41 states in attendance.
