Liz Rincon is the state director for the Pennsylvania League of Young Voters, and while she hasn't been on the ground organizing for more than several months she's done a lot.

No office in Pennsylvania politics has been quite as frustrating as that of State Attorney General. Ever since 1980, when the position became an elected one, the voters have never opted to send a Democrat to that seat. Even as Pennsylvania has, ever so slowly, turned a bluer shade of purple, giving its electoral votes to every Democratic Presidential nominee since 1992, and sending Democrats to the Governor's office, the State Auditor General and State Treasurer's offices, and one of the state's U.S. Senate seats, the State Attorney General's office has remained firmly in Republican hands.
