Since Donald Trump’s reelection in 2024, Democrats have flipped 30 state legislative seats across the country, while Republicans have flipped 0. I joined the Electorette podcast to share what’s driving these wins and why states are the clearest path to power. open.spotify.com/episode/58VP...

Winning a trifecta in Michigan is a top priority for States Win this year, but we only get there if we defend the seats we already hold. I’m proud to share that today States Win is endorsing Chedrick Greene in Michigan’s upcoming Senate special election. Learn more: stateswin.org/press-post/s...

With chaos at the federal level and communities reeling from another fatal shooting by Trump-deployed ICE agents, people are scared and angry. State legislatures are stepping in to protect our neighbors. This is why who we elect at the state level matters. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/u...

Since the founding of Sister District, we’ve been laser-focused on one goal: winning progressive power in state legislatures. I’m thrilled to share the next chapter for our work: Sister District is now States Win. Our new name reflects both our commitment and the opportunity ahead. StatesWin.org

MS is a very tough state for Dems not just because of its lean but because there's very limited party infrastructure. The winning candidates did a ton of hard work, and groups like Sister District helped step into the breach. A great example of why Dems should never give up even in red states!

A NC #Republican just signaled they may redraw congressional maps. We’ve seen this playbook before: #gerrymander the maps, silence #voters, cling to power. Dems can’t afford to just play defense; we need to build lasting power in state legislatures. ncnewsline.com/2025/09/25/n...

#NewMexico is the first state in the nation to guarantee no-cost #universalchildcare. It’s no coincidence the state has a #DemocraticTrifecta and, as of last year, a majority-women legislature. When we elect #Democrats who truly reflect our communities, we can deliver real change for families.

Last night, Republicans lost their supermajority in the Iowa Senate. Catelin Drey flipped one of the most conservative districts in the state, a seat Trump won by over 11 points. This should be a turning point for Democrats everywhere.

I’m so proud of Dems in the #TexasStateLegislature for refusing to back a gerrymandered map rigging the midterms for House Republicans. Even in deep red states, Democrats are showing courage and conviction and fighting for our democracy.

Earlier this year, #Democrats won by double digits in an Iowa district that #Trump carried. It was a clear sign: even in traditionally red areas, there’s real potential…if we show up. That’s why, for the first time, Sister District is endorsing in #Iowa!
