The fight for democracy continues

With a second Trump administration under way, we need a powerful line of defense in our state legislatures to safeguard elections, advance voting rights, protect abortion access, and more. We are looking ahead to our work supporting candidates and expanding Democratic power at the state level in 2025 and 2026. Join us in continuing our fight!

Our Map

In 2025, Sister District will invest heavily in Virginia in targeted purple districts where we plan to have an outsized impact. We will also engage strategically with special elections where we have the opportunity to impact progressive power in key states.

2025: Virginia

  • Hold the VA House and drive engagement to flip the VA Governor’s mansion for a Democratic trifecta
  • Special Elections: Endorse in special state legislative elections when strategically appropriate

2026: Target States: AZ, GA, MI, MN, NC, NV, PA, WI

  • Blue Flips: MN (House), WI (Senate and Assembly), MI (House), AZ (House and Senate)
  • Blue Holds: PA (House), MN (Senate), MI (Senate), NV (Assembly and Senate)
  • Blue Inroads: PA (Senate), GA (House), NC (House and Senate)
  • Nested Opportunities: Prioritize states with nested competitive US Senate, US House, and Gubernatorial elections
  • Incumbent Protection: Invest in fragile incumbents. Incumbent protection has always been a key component of our electoral strategy
