#WhyStatesMatter, #2. Vote in ALL elections, especially local and state.
BREAKING: Virginia Democrats to announce a special session to redraw the state’s congressional map, making Virginia the second state to announce a redistricting process that could net seats for Democrats ahead of 2026 midterms.

I think we should build public schools up! Fight to improve achievement and for kids to have the resources necessary to succeed.

I don’t think we should make people pay for two systems: an unaccountable private system for the wealthy and underfunded schools for the rest of us.
John Reid’s own words make it clear he wants to close Virginia public schools and use your taxpayer dollars to fund wealthy private schools — jeopardizing the future success of children in every corner of Virginia.

Hear more in my latest statewide ad:
#WhyStatesMatter. Vote in ALL elections, especially local and state.
It's official: North Carolina's Republican-controlled Legislature just passed a new congressional map designed to give the GOP an extra House seat.

This is the third state to follow Trump's gerrymandering demand, following Texas and Missouri.

Folks don’t want their elected officials to be bought and paid for by big energy companies.
People want a leader who knows their struggles and always puts them first. Wanna share how high energy bills are impacting you and learn what we can do about it? www.cleanvirginia.org/act/town-hal...

And there are legislative elections monthly, if not weekly. You might think the next election is Nov 4. Nope. There are primaries for three legislative seats in South Carolina on Tuesday, but, oh wait, no Dem is contesting two of the seats at all. This is the kind of stuff that has to stop.

Don't wait until elections to celebrate what you're doing! You wrote 10 postcards? That's amazing. You raised $100 for a candidate from your friends? Celebrate it. Don't wait for a headline, share the victories today!
This movement is stronger than it was in 2016. We have better infrastructure, more data, deeper networks, and a generation of seasoned volunteers. We know what works, and we know who we're up against. Let's use what we've built to keep winning.
Our candidate @lesliemehta.bsky.social knocking doors and speaking to voters! Less than a month until the election.

And why now, more than ever, #ElectionsMatter and #ItStartswithStates! Only Dem-controlled states can/will fight against Tr*mp/MAGA's federal attacks. When Sister District Project started in 2017, we had only 6 Dem trifectas—today we've nearly tripled that w/ 15.

Let's keep it going with Virginia!
Rigging direct democracy…

I’m so proud of our Sister District community.

This Summer, we helped flip a Republican-held Iowa Senate seat, and now we’re bringing that same grassroots energy to flip three seats in Mississippi.

Together, we can break the Republican supermajority in the Senate and make gains in the House.
“I’ve had lived experiences that are very similar to folks in this district. … I worked multiple jobs to make ends meet... People want their elected officials to deliver on everyday solutions, they just want their lives to be less chaotic.” - Lily Franklin

State legislatures shape Congress itself. States control congressional redistricting, determining the balance of power in the U.S. House of Representatives. #WhyStatesMatter
