State and local #Democrats continue to deliver wins!

Congratulations to Mayor-elect Mindy O'Neall on her win in Fairbanks, #Alaska!

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.

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.

This November, #Mississippi voters will finally have a chance at fairer representation. #SpecialElections will be held under new maps that better reflect communities denied power for too long.

If you watch anything today, watch this video of Delegate Michael Feggans on how he’ll continue fighting for his constituents through this shutdown.

While the government #shutdown continues, families and working people bear the consequences.

But as dysfunction in #Washington drags on, states are once again taking decisive action.

I am thrilled to share this opinion piece I wrote for @thehill.com It is time to invest in state legislatures now and create a broader more durable map into the future.

Skeptics called this district “unwinnable.” But voters proved them wrong.

The lesson is clear: with strong candidates and bold organizing, we have opportunities beyond the traditional battleground.

The map is bigger than we think.

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.

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) vetoed a bill Friday that would require voters with felony convictions to pay all outstanding legal fees before their right to vote is restored — a requirement that voting rights advocates slammed as a discriminatory poll tax. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Republicans have spent decades quietly investing in state legislatures; now they control 57 chambers nationwide. That’s what’s emboldening them.

Dems, it’s time to go on the offense: we must protect what we’ve won, invest in the battlegrounds, and build enduring power in the states.

What’s happening in the Texas legislature is just the beginning, we know republicans won’t stop there.

State legislatures help shape 300+ congressional districts and nearly 6,000 state seats.

The future of our democracy quite literally hinges on who we elect in our own backyards.

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.

It’s been a tough year to be in #politics, but watching our #volunteer network jump in from across the country gives me real hope.

#GOP-controlled states like Iowa have been written off by national groups for years, but low-turnout special elections have favored Dems this cycle.

With the August special election coming up and major contests ahead in 2026, smart investments could help turn Iowa into a true battleground.

I’m excited to share that our team will be backing the incredible Catelin Drey in the August 26 Iowa special election!

If Catelin wins, Dems will break the GOP’s #supermajority in the Iowa Senate 👉 a much needed check on the governor’s appointments heading into the 2026 session.

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!

I’ll be posting about key state legislative battles, what’s at stake in today’s political climate, and the grassroots efforts that are making a difference.

If you care about rights, dignity, and getting things done, I’m right there with you. sisterdistrict.com

A little late to the BlueSky party, but excited to be here!

I’m Sarah Curmi - single mom by choice, proud Michigander, and Executive Director of Sister District, where we build progressive power in state legislatures.

Here’s an obligatory pic of Mia and me voting for Kamala Harris together. 🥲
