Make no mistake: This fight won’t end with just Texas and Missouri. As Democrats keep all options open to build state legislative power, to ultimately achieve redistricting parity, we must win more Democratic majorities in battleground states.
NEW: Republicans’ mid-cycle redistricting schemes are expanding beyond Texas. The Missouri GOP just announced a special session to pursue mid-cycle redistricting.

State Dems like @debraforgeorgia continue to exceed expectations because they’re listening to their voters about what they need and pledging to fight for their communities, which are hurting from the MAGA agenda. Dems are the leaders we need in the states.
BREAKING: @debraforgeorgia just advanced in her special election for Georgia’s SD-21!. She’s building momentum with a massive lead heading into the runoff election on 9/23, where she could FLIP a seat in the state Senate.

State Dems are delivering progress, responding to their communities’ concerns about the chaos in DC, and providing the leadership voters are asking for. That’s why Sen.-elect Catelin Drey flipped this seat and broke the GOP’s supermajority in the Iowa Senate tonight!.

Let’s be clear: Indiana Republicans know their party’s policies of cutting Medicaid and raising prices on working families are a disaster, which is why they’re spending the day at the White House desperately plotting ways to silence voters to stay in power.
It's clear Indiana Republicans only care about a constituency of one: Donald Trump. The majority of Hoosiers OPPOSE the GOP's blatant redistricting power grab.

Tomorrow, @DLCC Spotlight candidate Catelin Drey is on the ballot to flip an Iowa Senate seat. She's running against a MAGA die-hard – the kind of candidate that never would've been seen on a ballot a few years ago. We can’t let these extremists win.

Now that Trump and Republicans in DC have eked out passage of their “Big Ugly Bill,” state legislatures are the last line of defense against MAGA’s bleak vision for America.
