We helped power a huge win in Iowa on Tuesday, flipping IA SD-1 and breaking the rightwing supermajority in the chamber — an 11-point victory in a district Trump won by 20 points. *This* is what we mean when we say we’re focused on building governing power everywhere it’s on the line. 🧵 (1/4)

We are slowly adding more state-level calls to 5 Calls! There are currently a handful of state-level issues listed for users in Texas, Utah, Ohio, Missouri, Florida, Indiana, and North Carolina. (Accessible via web and iOS, Android coming soon!)
