John,
Election Day is behind us — but the story isn’t over.
Across the country, working people just made history.
While some races are still too close to call, the Working Families Party elected working-class champions up and down the ballot — from city halls to statehouses to major mayoral races.
Join us tonight at 8 PM ET for the Working Families Party’s Post-Election Mass Call — “2026 Starts Now.”
We’ll break down what we won, what we learned, and how we fight back heading into the 2026 midterms.

Here’s what we’ve won so far:
-
In New York, Zohran Mamdani withstood $40 million in Super PAC spending to defeat former Governor Andrew Cuomo — running on a message of affordability, economic fairness, and working-class power. His victory drove record turnout and proved that people want a different kind of politics: one that prioritizes working people, not billionaires.
In Virginia, WFP-backed candidates helped expand the Democrats’ governing majority in the General Assembly — with Virginia becoming a Democratic trifecta. That means we can restore voting rights, protect reproductive freedom, and deliver real economic relief for families across the Commonwealth.
-
In California, voters approved Proposition 50, a direct response to Trump’s MAGA redistricting power grab. The measure restores fairness to the congressional maps by empowering California voters — not politicians — to approve emergency district lines through 2030. Prop 50 reaffirms California’s commitment to democracy, fairness, and resistance to election manipulation by Trump and his Republican allies.
Across the country:
-
In Detroit, Denzel McCampbell and Gabriela Santiago-Romero both won their City Council races, proving that when we organize, we win.
-
In Dayton, OH, Shenise Turner-Sloss upset an entrenched incumbent to become mayor.
Despite billionaire Jeffrey Yass spending more than $2 million to upset statewide Pennsylvania Supreme Court judicial retention elections, the sitting justices were retained by historic margins.
WFP-backed candidates flipped Republican-held offices like the Mayor of New Britain, CT (Bobby Sanchez after 15 years of Republican rule) and Erie County (won by Trump in 2024, defeating a Republican incumbent).
-
WFP candidates also won in Buffalo, Syracuse, Albany, Hartford, Bridgeport, Georgia, and across Colorado — and more victories are still being called.
In city after city, WFP candidates beat big money and billionaire-backed Super PACs — and we did it by centering the basic needs of working people: lowering costs, defending reproductive freedom, protecting public schools, and ensuring that everyone has healthcare when they need it.
Tonight at 8 PM ET, we’re coming together to celebrate these wins, unpack what we’ve learned, and chart the path forward.

This moment demands bold leadership, clear-eyed strategy, and solidarity that doesn’t flinch in the face of power. That’s what the Working Families Party is built for — and that’s why we need you on this call.
We’ll break down how we beat back Trump and the GOP’s agenda — from attacks on SNAP and healthcare to attempts to silence working people — and how we’re laying the groundwork for a working-class wave in the 2026 midterms.
The truth is, our work didn’t end last night. It’s just beginning.
Hope doesn’t come from waiting. It comes from what we do next — together.
Join us tonight at 8 PM ET as we celebrate, strategize, and build toward 2026.

In solidarity,
Working Families Party
