Texas is one of the most important power-building opportunities this year. Their mid-decade redistricting push became a blueprint for Republicans looking to lock in a U.S. House majority. Stopping these schemes starts with winning back power in the states.

This GOP candidate for the Florida House marched alongside a white supremacist group. Now, he’s on the ballot to join the state House. These extremists don’t belong in positions of power. We must elect state Dems who will work to stop their efforts at every turn.

This year, MO Republicans followed Trump’s orders to pass a new congressional map in a desperate attempt to help the GOP hold onto power in DC. Courts have rejected the map, but their efforts aren’t slowing down. They’ll do anything to avoid accountability from voters.

Missouri Republicans hope the 8th Circuit can revive their 2025 congressional map, but court rulings and a U.S. Supreme Court stay leave major obstacles.
