Democrats have secured 27 special election victories this year, flipping three seats Trump won by double digits and winning five majority-deciding elections. Now, we still have over a dozen special elections on top of Virginia’s elections on November 4th!
Here's what your donation could fund: $7 could help Democrats reach voters through targeted ad campaigns before the polls close. $25 could provide training for in-state caucus staff, who will mobilize dozens of volunteers for door-knocking and phone banking, amplifying our presence in key districts. And $50 could help fund voter protection programs, safeguarding thousands of votes and protecting our democracy from ongoing attacks from the MAGA movement. Thank you, Team DLCC |

In Texas, our movement is fighting like hell to block the state’s new, outrageously and racially gerrymandered congressional map.
Before the map was even signed by the governor, our affiliate filed a lawsuit showing that it is racially discriminatory — a flagrant example of race-based redistricting designed to dilute the power of Black and Latino voters.
How flagrant? To equal the voting power of one white voter in Texas, it would take three Latino voters or five Black voters. Based on their share of the population, Texas Latinos would be the most underrepresented minority in all 50 states.
We’re not going to let this mid-decade racial gerrymander stand without a fight. And their scheme to dilute our voting power won’t stop with Texas, but is rapidly expanding throughout the country. Missouri just passed its own extreme gerrymander, and Ohio will propose its own redraw in a matter of weeks.
Here’s why it’s particularly ugly for the Texas legislature to try to roll back the political power of minority voters:
Nearly 60% of Texans are people of color, and 95% of the state’s population growth in the past decade has come from those communities. It seems that some extreme politicians in the state have decided that if they can’t win their support at the polls, they need to slash their voting power instead.
Make no mistake: we won’t stop fighting back against extreme racial gerrymandering like this — we’re on a mission to ensure voters everywhere have the ability to elect candidates of their choice.
Together, we are empowering voters across the country to make their voices heard. Donate now to ensure we can keep fighting — and winning — wherever there are threats to fairness in our democracy.
We’ll keep you posted on the latest in Texas and beyond,

Lowering the cost of health care. Funding our public schools. Passing gun safety measures. Investing in working families instead of handing tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy. These are just some of the common-sense, common good policies that state Democrats advance when they win elections and hold Democratic trifectas. This November, we have an opportunity to secure a trifecta in Virginia. With a marquee gubernatorial race and a razor-thin margin in the Virginia House, the DLCC is working to secure a Democratic House of Delegates. If you want to support the DLCC’s vital work protecting and expanding Democratic majorities nationwide, chip in $7 →
By winning in Virginia this November, we can notch a huge victory for our progressive movement. Thanks, Team DLCC
