Dear Friend,
With the 2021 election behind us, we’re taking a moment to reflect on our victories. In a so-called “off-year election,” we turned out in droves to elect local leaders that reflect our values, bringing progressive change right here in our communities.
In Boston, we elected the first woman of color as Mayor, Michelle Wu. In New Jersey, we re-elected Governor Phil Murphy, a Democratic champion for the environment and education. And all across the country, progressive Democrats now hold seats on City Councils and State Legislatures where they can put their bold visions for justice and equity into action.
But the results in Virginia gave us a wake-up call -- we can’t afford to take any Democratic seats for granted, especially when our majorities in Congress are at risk.
