[[link removed]] We did it! Pennsylvanians understood the assignment, John!
The New Pennsylvania Project registered 20,000 Pennsylvanians to vote this year, but we couldn't have done it without you.
Thank you to the election workers and grassroots progressive organizers for safeguarding our elections and showing up for democracy.
We couldn't have done it without our dedicated NPP staff who worked tirelessly year-round, and our donors who supported and invested in this mission.
We've had a lot of firsts this year, and a wave of monumental wins across the
Commonwealth. Making a representative democracy more of a reality; the Pennsylvania legislature will be its most diverse in history. This election added seven people of color: four Black, two Asian Americans, and one Latino.
This year's historic wins:
