Something big is happening, John: Democrats are overperforming in state legislative special elections across the country.

The devastating results of 2024 were a wake-up call, but now the tide is turning.  Fueled by grassroots energy, Democrats are making surprising gains – winning state legislative special elections in rural areas, red strongholds, and districts Trump carried just months ago.

That’s why we’re moving fast to keep momentum strong. Next week, we’re announcing a key special election endorsement – with eyes on more later this fall.

This race carries real stakes: it could break a Republican supermajority and keep one of the most extreme MAGA candidates in the country out of office.

To hit the ground running, we’re launching our Special Election Fund — and asking you to become a Founding Donor. Your support will help us expand our target map, win strategic races, and elect more progressive leaders in 2025 and beyond.

At Sister District, we’ve already powered two special election victories this year in Virginia, and we’ve doubled down to defend the House of Delegates in its general election this November.

 
But Virginia is just the beginning.

Special elections like the one we’re jumping into next week are high-impact opportunities to build long-term power and strengthen Democratic infrastructure ahead of the 2026 midterms. 

Our organizing model is built to act quickly, invest strategically, and deliver targeted support — but growing our impact takes resources.

If you support our work today, your impact will go even further. Contributions will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $75,000, by a generous donor in California to maximize our efforts to recruit and train volunteers, scale our outreach, and invest in exceptional candidates across the country.

As we head into a season of critical special elections, your founding donation of $25.25, $100, $250, or any amount will help us recruit and train volunteers, scale our outreach, and invest in exceptional candidates across the country.

Thank you for your time, energy, and support. We’re grateful to be in this fight to build progressive state power with you!
