BIG NEWS: We’re excited to announce @Heather4Dems as DLCC’s new president! Heather has served as our interim president since January, helping us win most special elections this year & clinch historic victories in Virginia & across the country. Learn more: bit.ly/47RsRNT

Here’s the bottom line: Amid the lack of leadership in Washington, state Democrats across the country are filling the gap and standing up to fight for Americans and against the GOP’s dangerous agenda.
Republicans up & down the ballot have sold out the states & their communities with this disastrous budget law – & @DLCC has the receipts. These ads hold the GOP accountable for creating this crisis on the backs of working Americans across the country. thehill.com/homenews/campa…
Abortion is on the line in Virginia this November. The only way to ensure that access to reproductive health care remains protected in the Commonwealth is to defend our Dem majority in the House of Delegates and ensure the legislature stays blue. bit.ly/44ORrOT
Right now, your local leaders are on the frontlines of the fight against the extremism and recklessness coming out of DC. We have a strong blue firewall in states across the country, and @DLCC is working hard to continue growing Democratic power nationwide.
As Republicans pursue a reckless and dangerous agenda in Washington, it’s clear that who’s in your statehouse matters more than ever. The stakes for 2025 and beyond are high, especially in chambers with close Democratic majorities. Read more: bit.ly/4lMowCg
So far this year @DLCC and state Dems have: ✔️Flipped 2 red seats Trump won by double digits ✔️Won 5 chamber-majority deciding special elections ✔️Overperformed in specials by an average of over 10 points There’s never been a more important time to grow Dem power in the states.
Many of today’s rising stars – including nearly half of the current Congress – started their careers in state legislatures. Here’s the bottom line: Dems who are serious about having strong leaders tomorrow need to invest in state legislative races today. bit.ly/3HUyoLu
State Republicans are just as responsible for this devastating law as their DC counterparts – they failed their constituents by backing the MAGA agenda and blindly rubber-stamped Trump’s tax cuts for the wealthy. cbsn.ws/4633DOx
Let’s be perfectly clear: If Democrats want to understand where our party is headed, they should take a page from our playbook and invest in state legislatures. bit.ly/3HUyoLu
Republicans know these cuts to health care, food benefits, & taxpayer-funded programs create giant funding gaps that states cannot possibly make up. That means hospitals will shutter and kids will go hungry – all to pay for tax cuts for the ultra wealthy. apnews.com/article/what-i…
.@SenatorHashmi is right: Virginia “deserves a lieutenant governor who brings Virginia values to the critical role of breaking ties in the state Senate.” She IS that candidate, and @DLCC is ready to help elect her in November! bit.ly/4lgtE1m
Because of this horrendous bill, state budgets are going to face a wrecking ball that will hurt families and their pocketbooks for years to come, and the blame lies squarely on Republicans at all levels for creating this disaster. nbcnews.to/4eBLkC9
.@DLCC is focused on ensuring state Dems in Virginia have the power to fight back against Trump and D.C. Republicans’ reckless agenda. The race for lieutenant governor is consequential for the legislature. We must elect @SenatorHashmi this November. bit.ly/44oXACI
Along with defending our majority in the Virginia House, we must elect @SenatorHashmi this November to ensure that Virginia’s next lieutenant governor will use their power – including the power to break ties in the Virginia Senate – to stand up for all Virginians.
