State Democrats’ special election wins tell an undeniable story of @thedlcc.bsky.social's momentum as voters reject Republican recklessness. This is the year to transform power in state legislatures – we’re only just getting started.

Let’s be clear: Democratic state legislative candidates aren’t just running on an anti-Trump agenda. Instead, they’re showing voters a different path forward, one where Americans have leaders who will fight to make progress for them at all levels of government.

The attacks on trans Americans must stop. This November, @thedlcc.bsky.social is working to break the GOP’s supermajority in the Kansas House to give Democrats more power to push back against extreme legislation like this from Republicans. We must get it done.

As voters continue to reject the GOP for raising costs & support state Dems, @thedlcc.bsky.social is building strong campaigns across the country to make the biggest gains down-ballot in two decades. We'll continue competing everywhere and putting Republicans on defense.

This marks @thedlcc.bsky.social's SECOND seat flip of the year – and 27th of the cycle! State Dems are securing one win after another in special elections – even in red states. If the GOP is losing at this rate in special elections, imagine what’s possible this November. We’re just getting started.

This is just one of the crucial upcoming special elections @thedlcc.bsky.social is focusing on! Chedrick Greene is a great candidate who can tell important stories about what is happening in his district and how it connects to what we are seeing across the country.

Let’s be clear: Trump’s rambling can’t hide Republicans’ reckless and failing record from voters. Last night, @thedlcc.bsky.social won three more special elections, defending our one-seat majority in the Pennsylvania House and protecting a crucial seat in the Maine House!

Yet another issue state Democrats are now on the front lines of addressing: climate change. As Trump and Republicans in D.C. make it clear they don’t care about taking action on this issue, state Dems are ensuring they’re doing all they can to protect our environment.

The opportunity to elect a progressive SCOWIS majority through 2030 has huge implications for everything from redistricting to personal rights and freedoms. @thedlcc.bsky.social is ready to support Judge Chris Taylor’s election as we work towards flipping the Wisconsin legislature this November.

@thedlcc.bsky.social and state Democrats haven’t just been on a winning streak in special elections so far this year. This cycle, we’ve flipped 26 state legislative seats blue, while Republicans have flipped none.

Sorry, we skipped Trump’s State of the Union. We were too busy winning elections. 🧵

Every special election is an opportunity to build power, and that’s exactly what we’ve done tonight in Pennsylvania and Maine! Both states are on @thedlcc.bsky.social's target map this year as we prepare to turn our momentum into the biggest wins this ballot level has seen in nearly two decades.

Another Tuesday, another round of wins for @thedlcc.bsky.social and state Democrats! The split screen tonight couldn’t be starker: As Trump drones on and on and tries to cover up his failing agenda that’s leaving everyday Americans behind, Democrats are winning crucial elections.

This Michigan Senate district is a true toss-up and one of the highest-stakes special elections this spring. VP Harris won this district with just 50.44% of the vote in 2024, and the outcome in May will set the tone ahead of the midterms.

As Republicans push their reckless agenda, state Dems are the ones who are working for Americans, and voters are taking notice! Even in red states like Texas, they’re electing Dems like Sen. Taylor Rehmet who are committed to making progress for their constituents.

This election will set the tone for the midterms as we work to build state power across the country to safeguard against the reckless and failing MAGA agenda. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and @thedlcc.bsky.social will support Michigan Democrats every step of the way.

All eyes should be on this race. It will be the highest-stakes special election in a battleground state this year. That’s why @thedlcc.bsky.social is supporting Michigan Democrats with an initial $250K investment to defend our majority in the chamber – now and in November.

Right now, @thedlcc.bsky.social and state Dems are – and have been – winning and overperforming in special elections across the country! All eyes should be on the states as we continue our winning strategy in upcoming races, including November’s crucial midterm elections.

I couldn’t be more excited about the record number of state Democrats who are already showing up, ready to fight to represent their communities in their state legislatures! The Indiana House is on @thedlcc.bsky.social's Target Map, and we’re ready to break the GOP’s supermajority in the chamber.

Here’s the reality of state legislative races right now: While @thedlcc.bsky.social and state Democrats are on a winning and overperforming streak, state Republicans are on a losing and barely winning races that should be easy victories for them streak. Let’s keep it up.

State Democrats across the country have been winning and overperforming in special elections for the past year, and this incredible victory in Louisiana is just the latest example of that. @thedlcc.bsky.social is just getting started in this crucial midterm year!

Let’s be clear: Every special election is an opportunity to gradually turn the tide against MAGA extremism, and we aren’t missing a moment. Let’s elect @thedlcc.bsky.social Spotlight candidate Alex Holladay on 3/3 and flip a seat blue in the state House!

The GOP’s attacks on reproductive freedom aren’t slowing down. According to the Guttmacher Institute, nearly 200 anti-abortion bills have been introduced across 29 states so far this year, largely aimed at restricting access to abortion pills.

Maine’s Dem majorities are standing up for working families and blocking the GOP’s agenda to rip away health care and raise costs. Keeping the chamber blue is one of @thedlcc.bsky.social's top priorities this year, and electing Scott Harriman is crucial to getting it done.

We’ve all seen the headlines. Republicans are still desperately trying to roll back Americans’ reproductive rights. Proud of @thedlcc.bsky.social Board Chair @leaderasc.bsky.social for leading efforts to protect and expand access to this necessary health care in New York!

Make no mistake: The progress we’re seeing from state Dems across the country so far this year makes the stakes of @thedlcc.bsky.social’s historic opportunity to flip as many as 650 seats clearer than ever before. Learn more about our plans for this year: DLCC.org/TargetMap

Republicans just had another failed flip opportunity in a special election that should’ve been an easy win for them. Since Trump’s 2024 win, they’ve faced defeat after defeat – even in red districts. It’s clear the backlash to their toxic agenda is reaching across the country.

Amid an affordability crisis that’s raising costs for Americans, all eyes should be on statehouses. As Republicans fail to address health care costs, neglect soaring grocery prices, and strip families of food access, state Dems are working to make progress for their communities.

@thedlcc.bsky.social and state Democrats are laser-focused on every special election opportunity between now and November to flip seats and set the tone for the midterms, including winning these majority-deciding races for the Pennsylvania House on 2/24!

Excited by these key wins in NY! Communities feel the difference when state Dems are in control in statehouses, and that’s especially true now. The stakes couldn’t be higher as we approach a historic opportunity in 2026 to expand Dem power in the states.

Let’s be clear: Right now, NY state Dems are on the frontlines of protecting communities while bringing down the cost of living. Thrilled that Sen.-elect Zellner protected this seat – which will be crucial to helping @thedlcc.bsky.social win a supermajority in the chamber in November!

In this crucial midterm year, @thedlcc.bsky.social is working to unseat Republicans all across the country. Arkansas is next, where Alex Holladay is running in a special election on 3/3! We’re ready to flip ANOTHER seat and compete in red territory all year long.

Maryland Dems are providing real leadership and protecting our democracy. As the Trump administration’s federal overreach escalates everyday, it’s never been more important to empower Dem majorities in the states to deliver real solutions.

It’s clear that Republicans at all levels of government have no plan to bring down costs for Americans. Meanwhile, state Dems are stepping up and finding ways to make life more affordable for their communities.

This win is the latest proof point of state Dems’ momentum as we gear up for our most expansive target map ever, including picking up even more seats in Texas this year. Make no mistake: @thedlcc.bsky.social is just getting started in this crucial election year!

This victory marks @thedlcc.bsky.social's FIRST SEAT FLIP OF THE YEAR!  State Dems are already delivering major wins this year. This Trump district hasn’t been in play for Dems in three decades, but tonight, Sen.-elect Rehmet pulled off a stunning victory, even overperforming by double-digits.

Protecting the power Dems have in the Maine House is a top priority for @thedlcc.bsky.social this year. Mainers are looking for the legislature to focus on affordability and health care, which is exactly what Scott Harriman and the Democratic leadership are prioritizing. Let’s elect him on 2/24!

Let’s be clear: Many of the top battlegrounds in November are in state legislatures! To take advantage of the historic opportunity to build Dem power in the state this year, @thedlcc.bsky.social is targeting 42 chambers and 27 states across the country.

This set of special elections will make or break Dems’ majority in the Pennsylvania House. While Republicans’ MAGA agenda is raising costs and stripping away rights, Democrats like Ana Tiburcio and Jen Mazzocco are putting working families first. Let’s elect them on 2/24!

Virginia Democrats have wasted no time getting to work this legislative session! They’re already making incredible progress for their constituents and showing exactly what’s possible when Democrats are in power in the states.

State Dems like LeMario Brown continue to exceed expectations in special elections as the GOP prioritizes MAGA extremism. State Dems’ leadership continues to put new districts in play every day, as he heads to a 2/17 runoff election in Georgia.

Virginia Dems know that affordability is a top issue for their constituents, and they’re ready to make progress on lowering costs this legislative session.

Special elections are crucial opportunities to build and preserve power ahead of the midterms, and @thedlcc.bsky.social Spotlight candidate Meg Luger-Nikolai winning this race is essential to ensure we keep Republicans out of the majority in Minnesota.

This year, @thedlcc.bsky.social is ready to take advantage of the once-in-a-generation opportunity the 2026 midterms provide to protect and expand Democratic power in states across the country. DLCC.org/TargetMap

We know Republicans continue to scheme ways to steal seats and elections, and the redistricting fight will be won or lost in state legislatures. Our democracy can only be secured by state Democrats winning more majorities, period.

Let’s go, Virginia Dems! This move is key to protecting our democracy and pushing back against Republican power grabs. @thedlcc.bsky.social has worked tirelessly to protect Democratic majorities in Virginia, ensuring this option would be on the table.

I’m so excited about @thedlcc.bsky.social’s expanded 2026 Target Map, and I was thrilled to join SiriusXM’s State of the States to talk about our plans for the once-in-a-generation opportunity to grow Dem power in our state legislatures that this year presents! Listen to our conversation now:

NEW: On the first day of their 2026 session, Virginia House Dems advanced a resolution to put an amendment before voters to allow the legislature to pursue mid-cycle redistricting!  This is their first step in countering the GOP’s gerrymandering scheme.

Virginia’s new blue trifecta is now in session! I can’t wait to see all state Dems accomplish for their constituents this year.
