Congratulations, Ruwa!! Ruwa is a next-generation leader fighting against data center construction, burgeoning healthcare and utility costs, and landlord greed. She has a track record of success and will always serve Georgians, not corporations and special interests.

Tonight, a 26-year-old progressive beat a wealthy, establishment-backed, Democrat-in-name-only candidate. Voters knew that they couldn’t trust a man who voted for Greg Abbott to stand up against MAGA and deliver for working families. Congratulations, Julio!!

Excited to endorse 4 new state legislature candidates! These candidates have strong track records of leadership already and are best equipped to fight back against Republicans rigging our elections. They aren’t going to “wait their turn” while our generation’s future is at stake.

Jyot Singh won his primary with a platform to make Gwinnett affordable, prioritize people over profits, and stand against the encroachment of civil rights by the federal government. An organizer and civil rights advocate, Jyot will fight for Georgians and deliver.

Tonight, Tim Hayes received more votes than the Republican incumbent he’s challenging, showing strong Dem energy to flip the seat in November! Tim is a member of the PA National Guard and has reduced wasteful spending + invested in Dublin as President of the local council.

Trevor, Jane, and Tim are already incredible organizers and leaders within their communities. Now, they have the opportunity to flip state legislative chambers, protect Democratic control, and build a bench of young talent in red states like Florida. We're proud to endorse them!

Congratulations, Nabeela Syed!! In the IL House, Nabeela has passed bills to cap prescription drug costs, expand breast cancer screening, and make voting more accessible to young people – proving that young leaders get it done. Let’s go flip IL-SD-26!

🧵, cont. - Figure out who’s running for office in your area. There are a lot of state, local, and special elections happening across the country this year. If there's a candidate, chip in and get involved. If not, reach out to your state or county party and ask how to run.

The most effective way to combat disinformation is through relational organizing. Change starts by talking with the people we care about most. We have to talk with our friends and family, even when those conversations can be hard. Ask questions, share why you care. www.cnn.com/2025/01/22/m...

Elections matter. In 2021, Republicans won the Virginia AG’s race by just 26,536 votes. We can take that office back this year. There are six AG races coming up that were either won or lost by a single point. We can win every one of them if we organize. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/tru...

🧵 We’re at a critical moment in our democracy. Electing mayors and winning seats on city councils, school boards and state legislatures is key if we want to stop Trump. State and local elections are where the magic happens.
