This is the time to reach out to these new or revalidated officials and tell them this is the time to take power back.
I’ve sent emails to my new senator and house rep, but things like 5calls.org are probably useful too. The calls require (people like me) to be a little more prepared with what we want to talk about, but the time is NOW. Also set a reminder for 1/21 and remind them this was, in fact, a mandate to make things different.
If you’ve been disappointed with milquetoast dems… call them right now. Email them at the least.
Drown them in the proof that we demand accountability for the current regime and progress on the issues that we all want.
My state didn’t flip at all so I’ve no one to really call. I can just promote others do so with their elected officials because let’s be honest, the Repubs will not change.
But it did move significantly to the left, even deep red areas saw huge gains and are barely more red now than before. Even if it didn’t flip that doesn’t mean it’s not on the verge and continuing to push in that direction is actually worth the effort. The entire country is moving left, we need to keep the pressure on

They didn’t flip, but now those in power no longer feel unassailable and may actually start listening to their constituents.
Even if your state didn’t flip, your elected officials certainly saw what happened. Let them know they aren’t out of the woods.
