I started to write a more thorough response to this but realized I was essentially copying Rethink Priorities’ post on Ballot Initiatives, which covers a lot of EA causes with high leverage at the local/state level.
Two popular EA causes that I think are missing:
Climate change interventions
UBI (difficult, but not impossible to enact at the state level in the US because states can’t deficit spend. See Alaska as an example)
