Many of the groups started out organizing demonstrations at town hall-style meetings during the February congressional recess. These encounters produced arresting video of angry constituents facing down their elected representatives.
But for the
Easter recess, which starts this week, there is less focus on town halls.
Instead,
many groups have already moved on to developing strategies for the 2018
elections. Groups like this one in New Jersey are forming political action
committees and raising money. Others, just as the Tea Party groups did, are
beginning to train their members on how to go door to door and use data to get
out the vote. In some districts where Republicans won their seats narrowly,
several Democrats are already lined up to run.
