This is on point. I'm Anthony Brooks in for Meghna Chocherbardi.

Millions of Americans are already voting for the next president of the United States.

With election day, the last day of voting less than three weeks away,

it seems like it's all we talk

about these days. But voters are also casting ballots for their local House and

Senate candidates, races that don't get as much attention, but have immense impact on our daily lives.

Think about it, from taxes and health care, to education and guns, to voting access and abortion, the list goes on and on. State houses debate and vote

on some of the biggest issues that affect us all. So this hour we're looking at some

key states where legislative races could have major

consequences. From Arizona where Democrats are gunning to flip both the

House and Senate to Michigan where Republicans have a shot at breaking up a Democratic trifecta,

which means control of both legislative chambers and the governor's office,

to New Hampshire, where Democrats have a chance to end Republican dominance there.

So joining us now to help us through this is Liz Crampton.

She's a state policy reporter at Politico.

She's been traveling around the country covering these legislative races for many months.

Welcome to On Point.
