Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee
@thedlcc.bsky.social
The official Democratic Party committee dedicated to winning state legislative elections across the country.
The headlines celebrating state Dems’ election wins across the country last week just keep coming in!

Dem momentum is strong in the states as we get ready for a bunch of upcoming special elections, and next year’s crucial midterms.

State Dems got it done in this year’s elections!

Thanks to these wins, we’re heading into the upcoming legislative sessions – and next year’s midterms – in a stronger position than ever to combat the reckless Republican agenda and fight to make progress for Americans.
November 20, 2025 at 7:25 PM
Last week’s monumental wins were just the latest in a series of victories for state Dems this year! There are already several majority-deciding special elections coming in the next few months. We must continue to build on our wins ahead of the midterms.

All 12 of our Virginia Spotlight candidates running in GOP-held districts flipped their state House seats blue this year – creating the biggest Dem majority in nearly four decades!

In just a single decade, we took Dems from a near superminority to a near supermajority in the House of Delegates.
November 18, 2025 at 3:44 PM
Democrats were nearly in a superminority in the Virginia House less than a decade ago. Now, they’re near a supermajority.

When the legislative session starts in January, we will hold 64/100 seats. This is what it looks like to build durable Democratic power in the states!

Dems just swept to victory in a HISTORIC 2025 election. But there's no rest for winners. We’re gearing up for the next round of special elections – including majority-deciding elections in 4 states, which are weeks away.

Here’s where we’re directing attention and resources to help Dems win next: 🧵

Like DLCC Board Member and Virginia House Speaker @donscott757.bsky.social makes clear: In this year’s elections, voters outright rejected Virginia Republicans’ supporting MAGA extremism and Trump’s failing agenda, which has hurt working families across the commonwealth.

The only full solution to the GOP-caused redistricting crisis? Win more Dem majorities in our state legislatures, so that we can secure voting rights and fair maps.

California’s Prop 50 passing is a strong step in the right direction as we look ahead to next year’s midterms.
November 6, 2025 at 9:12 PM
Like @heather4dems.bsky.social said: We swept EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. of our target districts in the Virginia House this year, and the entire commonwealth saw a Democratic shift. Voters are clearly rejecting the GOP’s reckless agenda and supporting strong Dem leaders.
