The results are in: our clients and friends across Massachusetts won big in last night's primary!

We were proud to work with Commonwealth Together PAC in support of Senator @EdMarkey, who secured the Democratic nomination for re-election after a hard-fought primary—a testament to his progressive leadership and record of delivering for working families across the commonwealth.

@dank won by double digits in a crowded primary for the open seat in MA-06. A former Biden-Harris White House advisor and Chief of Staff to Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, Koh is on track to become the first Asian American elected to Congress from Massachusetts.

We also congratulate and look forward to working with Rep. @JakeAuch (MA-04), who won his primary handily. A Marine veteran and one of the youngest Democratic parents in Congress, Auchincloss is focused on defending democracy in Washington, lowering prices in Massachusetts, and taking on special interests for working families.

Another night of primaries is in the books, and our clients had plenty of moments worth celebrating.

⭐ In Wisconsin, Milwaukee County Executive @DavidCCrowley pulled off a remarkable come-from-behind victory to win Wisconsin’s Democratic nomination for governor. Now, he’s building the statewide coalition needed to defeat extremist Congressman Tom Tiffany and keep Wisconsin moving forward this November.

⭐In Connecticut, Gov. @NedLamont secured the Democratic nomination for a third term. He'll now run alongside Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz, who was unopposed for renomination, as the two look to win in November.

⭐We were excited to have worked with the Bench IE, which backed former Hartford Mayor @LukeBronin (CT-01) who decisively won his Democratic primary. We are also looking forward to working with Connecticut Comptroller Sean Scanlon (@CTComptroller), Rep. @jahimes (CT-04), and State Senate candidate @JillOberlander (SD-36) in the general election – who all secured their nominations without a primary.

⭐ And in Vermont, leader of the Vermont Afghan Alliance and former Lieutenant Governor @mollyforvermont won a hard-fought primary. Now she's looking to flip the LG's seat by taking on Republican John Rodgers.

A big night for our Democratic friends across the country last night!

⭐In Kansas, State Sen. @cindy4kansas won her hard-fought Democratic primary for Governor by ten points. Holscher is a fighter for working people who the Kansas City Star says has “a uniquely proactive and practical fighting spirit for Democrats to take on big-money interests.” We are proud to be working with Holscher as she pushes ahead to keep the Governor’s office in Democratic hands this fall.

⭐US Rep. @sharicedavids handily won her primary in KS-03 and heads into November looking to keep this key seat blue.

⭐@ChrisMannKS ran unopposed for the Democratic nomination for Kansas Attorney General, setting up a rematch against extreme MAGA Republican Kris Kobach.

⭐State Sen. @dinah_sykes ran unopposed for the Democratic nomination for Kansas Insurance Commissioner.

⭐Kansas voters also overwhelmingly rejected yet another attempt to gut abortion rights, school funding, and workers’ rights in the state — this time with a deceptive measure that would have overhauled the state's impartial supreme court and let billionaire political donors influence rulings. Our research with @KSImpartial shaped the messaging that took the No side from down 30 points to a 61% victory.

⭐In Michigan, @cbhines586 won a hard-fought primary in MI-10. A mom of three and a prosecutor, she has dedicated her career to protecting families and getting justice for abuse and assault survivors. Now, Christina is on a mission to flip MI-10 from red to blue in a key pick-up opportunity.

⭐In Virginia, @ShannonTaylorVA cruised to victory in the VA-01 primary. A prosecutor first, not a politician, Taylor is running to flip VA-01 from red to blue. In Congress, she'll do what she's done her whole career: hold politicians and corporate monopolies accountable for raising costs, cut taxes, put hardworking Virginians ahead of special interests, and keep Virginians safe.

⭐ Rep. @JennMcClellanVA (VA-04), Rep. @YVindman (VA-07), and Rep. @SuhasforVA (VA-10) all also secured their nominations unopposed.

Since the interim deal between the U.S. and Iran was reached, growing shares say the conflict has not been worth it. The strongest critiques continue to frame the war as expensive, unnecessary, and dangerous.

GSG clients had a big night across New York! In New York City, we can't wait to see what this group accomplishes in Congress:

⭐Assemblyman @MicahLasher won a hard-fought primary in NY-12 to succeed outgoing Congressman Jerry Nadler. A lifelong New Yorker, Assemblyman Lasher has served his community for decades, crafting smart policy that helps New Yorkers.
⭐ @bradlander decisively won in NY-10. Starting his career as an affordable housing advocate before serving as City Councilman and NYC Comptroller, Lander built his campaign on a strong record of progressive advocacy — fighting for affordable housing and taking on corporate interests to raise workers' wages.
⭐Congresswoman Grace Meng (@Grace4NY) secured her nomination in NY-06, thanks to her strong record of delivering for her district by standing up against Trump, bringing home investments, and advancing meaningful change for women and girls. She is the first Asian American member of Congress from New York.
⭐Congressman @RitchieTorresNY posted a strong victory in NY-15. A product of public housing, public schools, and public hospitals, Torres became the first openly LGBTQ elected official in the Bronx when first elected to the City Council. In Congress, he's built his record on delivering for the Bronx — and we look forward to continuing that partnership.

Outside the city, GSG clients also had a strong showing across the state. We look forward to helping a strong slate win in November:

⭐ Cait Conley (@CaitforNewYork), a decorated combat veteran and national security expert, won her primary to take on Mike Lawler in NY-17 — one of the top Democratic pick-up opportunities in the country. Conley started as an outsider, but her grit and tenacity brought her to the top of the pack. We serve as her pollsters and strategists and look forward to helping her beat Lawler in November. She'll run alongside longtime GSG client Congressman @PatRyanUC — who ran unopposed — in two critical Hudson Valley swing seats.
⭐Chris Gallant (@_gallantny) won the Democratic primary in NY-01 to take on Republican Nick LaLota. A military pilot, union leader, and public servant, we look forward to continuing our partnership into the general. Gallant, along with GSG client and former Suffolk County Executive @Pat_Halpin (unopposed in NY-02), are running to flip two Republican-held seats on Long Island.

And finally, congratulations to our longtime friend and client, Governor @KathyHochul, who will lead the Democratic ticket this November! As the party unites to defeat Trump and MAGA Republicans, we are more prepared than ever before to win. 💪

Great news for our clients across the West: major wins in Nevada last night and strong results in California's election last week.

🗳️ @AaronDFordNV decisively won his Democratic primary victory for Nevada Governor! As Nevada's first Black Attorney General and former State Senate Majority Leader, Ford has built his career fighting for working families and taking on powerful interests. Now he heads into a general election in one of Democrats' top gubernatorial pickup opportunities this fall.

🗳️ @Sandra4NV secured victory in Nevada’s Democratic primary for Lieutenant Governor. A survivor of the 1 October mass shooting and a leader in the State Legislature, Sandra turned personal tragedy into purpose, leading the fight for commonsense gun safety laws and delivering real results for working people across Nevada.

🗳️ @Villegas_CA22 advanced in CA-22 despite heavy outside spending against him – this is a big win in California’s Central Valley. An educator, auto repair shop owner, and proud son of Mexican immigrants, Randy is now positioned to take on David Valadao in one of Democrats' top House pickup opportunities.

🗳️ @RepLindaSanchez advanced in California's newly redrawn CA-41, outperforming all Democratic candidates to lead the primary ticket. A longtime advocate for working families, Sánchez continues her work to lower costs, strengthen the middle class, and hold the Trump administration accountable.

The road to November starts now. 💪

It was a strong showing last night for our clients and friends in Iowa, with three critical nominees are headed to the general election:

✅ @turek4iowa secured the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. A two-time Paralympic gold medalist, state representative, and lifelong advocate for people with disabilities, Turek brings a compelling story and a record of public service to one of the country's most closely watched Senate races.

✅ @RobSandIA heads to the general election to fill the open seat for Iowa’s Governor. As Iowa's Auditor and the only Democrat currently holding statewide office, Sand has built a reputation for accountability and government oversight that resonates across party lines.

✅ @SarahforIowa advances in Iowa's 3rd Congressional District. A state senator and Lutheran minister with a history of winning tough races—having previously flipped a Republican-held state senate seat—she is now well-positioned to compete in a key congressional pickup opportunity.

Congratulations to our partners on a successful primary night. Onwards!
