“What comes now with governing power is the opportunity to actually deliver. When it comes to utilities, housing, groceries, even fuel prices, state legislatures can deliver.”
@DanielSquadron discussing how state legislatures can improve lives with on @DeadlineWH.
When I co-founded the ADLCC in 2014, there were so few Democrats in the state Senate that we joked we could all share one pizza.
Now, Arizona will have a Democratic trifecta for the first time in 60 years.
We’re going to need a lot more pizza.
Seeing a lot of fantastic comms teams here but none as great as the PA House Democratic Campaign Committee comms team who advised literally dozens of Democratic Campaigns across the Commonwealth and played a part in flipping a dozen seats from red to blue. An honor!
Today's update:
Democrats have gained 545 seats in state legislatures this year. They've officially gained more seats than in 1964, when Lyndon Johnson won by a landslide.

For the first time in 16 years, Democrats are poised to control more state governments outright than Republicans.
Democrats are on track for 22 state government trifectas, their most in at least 34 years. The political map that Republicans built in 2010 is unraveling.
“We are going to use this power to deliver for the people of our state and demonstrate that government can be a force for good in their lives.” — @RepGreta
Dems picked up more than 500+ seats and flipped at least 12 chambers. Now comes the work.👇

Arizona Democrats just flipped control of the state legislature. This was decades in the making, and it’ll make a huge difference as we fight to lower costs, protect public schools, and deliver for working families.
A 124-year-old voting ban designed to silence Black Virginians is finally gone.
While Democrats took control of both chambers of Congress, Virginia overturned its “Jim Crow-era lifetime ban” on voting for people with prior felony convictions. https://t.co/tT59X09AZ2
.@JoshShapiroPA on what Pennsylvania's historic Democratic trifecta means for getting things done:
“Now, with a Democratic trifecta, we'll be able to get even more stuff done — from raising the minimum wage and lowering costs, to giving survivors their day in court, to building more housing and codifying abortion rights.”

The result in Wisconsin? The biggest margin of victory for a gubernatorial candidate since 1998, the first trifecta in 16 years, and the biggest Democratic Assembly majority since 1992.

ICYMI some of the biggest news on Tuesday:
Along with our partners @StatesProjectUS erased Project Redmap in state legislatures.
I wrote for @NYDNOpinions about being on both sides of that 16 year history -- and how to avoid the tables flipping again in '28 and '30.
Unsolicited advice to all the Democrats who won tough seats this week across the country: have the best possible constituent service operation you can.
I won and flipped my first state house district in 2016 by 323 votes the same night that Trump won my seat by 12 points.
My team was relentless in solving constituent cases because I believe that we can connect with residents regardless of party in this way. We still work this hard at casework.
The proof it works? This comment from a constituent this morning on my Facebook page:
In 2010, Karl Rove’s Project REDMAP flipped 21 state legislative chambers.
On Tuesday, @StatesProject erased it.
Now, @DanielSquadron says in @NYDailyNews: “People weren’t elected to impose their will… They were elected to deliver on their promises.”👇
