John — I’m still processing everything from this election, and I imagine you are too. The results have brought a whirlwind of emotions. But even in the face of a Trump presidency, I want to remind you of the power we’ve built and the victories we can celebrate. Because despite what we’re up against, we are not starting from scratch — we’re starting from strength.

Across the country, 65 of our JanePAC-endorsed climate champions have officially achieved stunning down-ballot victories, with many more races yet to be called. This is no small feat, and it matters more than ever.

Let’s break down some of Tuesday’s climate wins so far.

*
In
California,
we’re
winning
up
and
down
the
ballot.
Sade
Elhawary,
who
made
environmental
justice
the
centerpiece
of
her
campaign
is
on
her
way
to
Sacramento.
Social
justice
organizer
and
civil
rights
attorney
Ysabel
Jurado
will
be
a
strong
voice
for
climate
action
on
the
Los
Angeles
City
Council,
and
in
San
Francisco,
organizer
and
activist
Jackie
Fielder
won
a
7-person
race
for
a
seat
on
the
San
Francisco
Board
of
Supervisors
by
prioritizing
the
planet
in
her
platform.

In
Arizona,
one
of
the
biggest
battlegrounds
this
year,
John
McLean
is
currently
leading
his
race
to
flip
a
state
senate
seat
and
Jen
Allen
is
in
a
strong
position
to
win
her
race
for
Pima
County
Supervisor.

In
New
Mexico,
11
of
our
endorsed
climate
champions
won
their
state
legislative
races:
Joseph
Hernandez,
Eleanor
Chavez,
Heather
Berghmans,
Joy
Garratt,
Mimi
Stewart,
Harold
Pope
Jr.,
Debbie
Sariñana,
Charlotte
Little,
Kathleen
Cates,
Carrie
Hamblen,
and
Matthew
McQueen.
These
leaders
will
help
guide
the
state
toward
a
cleaner
and
healthier
future.

In
Pennsylvania,
Summer
Lee
(US
House),
Andre
Carroll
(HD-201),
Nikil
Saval
(SD-1),
and
Danielle
Friel
Otten
(HD-155)
won
seats
to
advocate
for
strong
climate
policies
that
benefit
all
communities.

In
Wisconsin,
Greta
Neubauer
(AD-66)
and
Vinnie
Miresse
(AD-71)
emerged
victorious,
keeping
environmental
justice
a
priority.

And in Washington State, the defeat of Initiative 2117 was another significant victory. This ballot measure, backed by monied anti-climate interests, would have dismantled critical climate protections. Its defeat shows the power of grassroots efforts and the will to protect our environment. And in the race for Washington State Commissioner of Public Lands, Dave Upthegrove defeated former Republican Representative Jaime Herrera Beutler. This is a crucial position responsible for managing the state’s Department of Natural Resources and overseeing millions of acres of public land.

John, these victories send a clear message: Climate champions can win anywhere. And now, these local and state-level races matter more than ever. These victories build the firewall we need to fight back against the incoming administration and its plans to undo the progress we’ve made.

We should be proud — so proud — of what we’ve accomplished together. As we face the road ahead, know that we’re not alone. We have each other, and we have climate champions across the nation ready to hold the line. Let’s keep pushing, keep organizing, and keep fighting for a future where we, not polluters, dictate our path forward.
