Hi Friend,
We are thrilled to share some exciting news from right here in Maryland and across the country!
First and foremost, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to Frankie Fritz on his remarkable victory in the Greenbelt City Council race! Frankie, an endorsed Progressive Maryland candidate and proud graduate of our Maryland People’s Leadership Institute, ran a campaign that truly reflected our shared progressive values. His win is a testament to the power of grassroots organizing and the dedication of supporters like you.

But the celebration doesn’t stop there! Across the country, we’ve seen a wave of inspiring victories for democracy and working families: -
In Mississippi, Democrats flipped two state Senate seats, breaking the Republican supermajority for the first time in years. These historic wins—made possible through new fairer districts ensuring better representation for Black voters—mark a major step toward restoring balance and accountability in the Deep South.
-
In California, voters approved Proposition 50, which advances fairer redistricting and strengthens community representation.
- In New York, we celebrate Zoran Mamdani’s election as Mayor, showing the growing momentum of progressive leadership in major cities.
-
In Virginia and New Jersey, the progressive gubernatorial wins signal continued nationwide support for justice, equity, and people-centered policies.
It takes ALL of us, across all levels of government in every single state, to fight back against Trump’s terrorism and keep our communities safe. Defending democracy is the work we do every day, but we can’t do it alone. Help fuel this fight so we can organize for the next victories ahead. |
In solidarity,
The Progressive Maryland Team |
