As you know, the fight to shift the balance of power in state legislatures doesn’t happen overnight — or even in one cycle. But over time, we can make a powerful difference.
In 2016, Democrats held majorities in just 29 state legislative chambers. Now, they control nearly 40. That means we’re in a stronger position to combat MAGA extremism than nine years ago where it matters the most: the states.
But there is so much more work to be done, John.
This year, we’ll head back to Virginia — where we can keep the legislature blue and pick up a Governor’s seat. We’re also gearing up to invest heavily in year-round grassroots organizing in critical battleground states and identify key opportunities to build power in 2026.
But first, we need your input to guide our strategy for volunteer recruitment and digital communications.
Thank you for all you do!
