Thank you for joining us! You should expect a welcome email from us soon and our regular newsletter in a week or two.
In the meantime, please read up on our plan for 2025 and join our Facebook Group!
We are a group of dedicated volunteers in the South Bay area (part of California SF Bay), working to change the legislative landscape around the United States and build sustained progressive power in the states.
We fundraise, phone bank, write postcards, and work tirelessly to elect our candidates who will make a difference. We also participate in States Win Action Network's research to determine best practices for increasing voter participation. Read more about what we do.
We hail from different backgrounds, enjoy each other's company, and work tirelessly to bring change. Be a part of our community and make an impact!
In 2025 all of our candidates won in VA: Lily Franklin (HD 41), Josh Thomas (HD 21), and Leslie Mehta (HD 73). In 2024 tough elections two of our candidates won, Jodi Habush Sinykin, winning the WI Senate seat in District 8, and Brittney Miller, returning to her NV State Assembly seat. 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.
We are consistently among the top States Win chapters in fundraising, phone calls, and postcards. In 2025, we contributed almost 14% of the total fundraising for the candidates and a whopping 38% of the total fundraising for State Bridges grassroots support program.
In 2026, we are supporting our alum Darrin Camilleri, who is running for re-election to Michigan State Senate District 4. Michigan will be a key political battleground in 2026. Every statewide office—including governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, and attorney general—will be open because all incumbents are term-limited. There is also an open U.S. Senate seat, two Michigan Supreme Court seats up for election, and every seat in the state legislature on the ballot. Darrin’s race is critical because he has been a driving force behind advancing Democratic priorities in Michigan.
Our second candidate is Ryan Spaude, running for reelection in Wisconsin's 89th Assembly District. Ryan flipped this Green Bay–area battleground seat in 2024, proving that voters are ready for pragmatic leadership focused on affordability and strong public schools. Defending AD-89 is essential to protecting Democratic gains and building momentum toward a legislative majority in Wisconsin.
Our third candidate is Heather Matson, who is running for Iowa Senate District 21. Rep. Matson is a proven fighter for working families in the Iowa legislature, running to flip an open seat and help Democrats expand their representation in the Iowa Senate.
We are also supporting Eileen Hartnett Albillar, who is running to flip Pennsylvania Senate District 6. A longtime public servant and Bucks County Clerk of Courts, Eileen is campaigning to break Republican control of the Pennsylvania Senate and fight for affordable health care, strong public schools, and an economy that works for working families.
Finally, we are backing Kari Rehrauer, who is seeking reelection to Minnesota House District 35B. One of the closest races in the state in 2024, this seat will be pivotal to helping Democrats regain control of the Minnesota House and restore a Democratic trifecta.
State legislatures have never been more important, impacting people's lives in many subtle and direct ways. They also can stand as a bulwark against damaging federal policies. Let's win urgent elections and build progressive infrastructure to create enduring power in state legislatures and improve communities across the country!
