In November 2023, two of our VA candidates won and are defending the rights of Virginians in Richmond Joshua Cole (House of Delegates) and Schuyler VanValkenburg (State Senate). All of our candidates in 2022 won their elections: Darrin Camilleri (MI State Senate District 4), Johanny Cepeda-Freytiz (PA State House District 129), Mitzi Epstein (AZ Senate Legislative District 12), and Brittney Miller (NV State Assembly District 5), contributing to flipping MI Senate and PA State House blue.
The 2021 VA elections were tough, but we were able to defend Elizabeth Guzman (VA HD31) in her grueling race to keep her delegate seat. Last year, our chapter wrote the most postcards in the nation and our fundraising prowess was #2! and through ten events, we raised $100,000+ for our candidates and grassroots organizations, called thousands of voters in 28 phonebanks, and wrote thousands of postcards to support the campaigns and help the Sister District prove that writing to voters works.
Four of our 2020 Sister District candidates flipped their previously Republican seats blue and have served in their state legislatures: Ann Johnson (TX HD134), Nancy Guenst (PA HD152), and Ann Johnson Stewart (MN SD44), while Sara Rodriguez served in WI AD13 and is now WI's Lt.Governor.
In 2024
This year, we are supporting our favorite Brittney Miller, who is running for re-election in her NV State Assembly seat. Democrats need to protect their majority in the Nevada State Legislature to be able to pass critical progressive legislation despite a Republican governor. We are also proud to support three more great candidates, Karen Gresham, running for the AZ State House in Legislative District 4, Jodi Habush Sinykin, running for the WI Senate in District 8, and Shadia Martini, running for the MI State House District 54.
Democrats need to protect their majority in the Nevada State Legislature and pass important progressive legislation defending reproductive freedom, voting rights, and honest and equitable education. As Arizona’s Legislative District 4 is one of the most competitive districts in the state, to flip this district from the current Republican representative to a Democrat such as Karen would end the GOP lock on power by creating a tie in the house, and bring the state closer to a Democratic majority. With a narrow two-seat majority in the Michigan House, Shadia's red to blue opportunity is critical to Democrats’ path to not only protecting their majority but possibly expanding their ranks. If Jodi is elected this fall, Democrats will be squarely on the path to winning control of the WI Senate in 2026.
