Sister District DC Metro Area* needs YOUR help to get out the vote✅ in Wisconsin and support Susan Crawford for WI Supreme Court Justice. Judge Crawford is a state judge in Madison who worked earlier in her career in the administration of former Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle.

You can learn more about her positions and her prosecutorial record here:

WI voters go to the polls on April 1 and this election will determine the bench’s ideological balance for the second time in two years. Next term, the Court is likely to decide major cases on abortion, labor rights, and environmental regulations. It could also take up the constitutionality of the state’s congressional maps. The liberals' majority is at stake in this election!

YOU CAN HELP SUSAN WIN!  Here's how:

Write postcards!

Join the Woman's National Democratic Club for Winning Wednesday on March 12, 6-8 pm, to send postcards for the WI Supreme Court election. Information will be available for you to text to friends and family to get them active.

Help us WIN this year! Sister District is gearing up to defend the Democratic majority in Virginia’s General Assembly, while building the foundation for key victories in 2026. That means safeguarding and expanding state majorities, flipping critical seats, and mobilizing voters early to pave the way for midterm success.

Thanks to our amazing team, we celebrated January special-election victories for two VA candidates, ensuring that the House of Delegates and the State Senate remain blue, and positioning Virginia as a stronghold for progress and a xxxxxx against GOP Governor Glenn Youngkin’s regressive policies.

Our DC Metro Area chapter is looking for students to join us in this year's efforts to hold the VA House and ensure that Democrats can win the Governor’s mansion. 

Now more than ever, state legislatures serve as a critical firewall against the worst of Trump’s policies — standing up for reproductive rights, fair elections, working families, and the progressive values that define us.

Come and join our family!  Contact us at: [email protected],

or better yet, meet us at our first Happy Hour of the year on March 21!
