Friends,

Last night, 18 of our endorsees were on the ballot after months (and sometimes years!) of hard work campaigning -- and we're so proud to share that we won 14 of those races outright. Together, we helped flip the Virginia House of Delegates blue, leading to Democratic control of the legislature and the Governor's mansion for the first time in a generation. More than that, we won big in local races across our target states — turning Delaware County, Pennsylvania fully blue for the first time since the Civil War, electing the first-ever LGBT Councilwoman in Scranton, and launching the careers of dedicated public servants who will serve their communities for years to come.

We’re so proud to share this list of newly elected and re-elected officials:

Virginia

Pennsylvania

And in Texas, we have two candidates headed towards runoffs in December:

As we look ahead to 2020 and beyond, we’ll need your help to continue this critical work — so if you can, please make a donation today! Thank you all for the generous support you’ve shown Ascend and our candidates this year - it’s made all the difference!

Onward and upward,
Ascend Team
