And my sleep deprived numbering means this list is actually 22 (now 23!) wins.

That’s awesome!

19. VA Attorney General flipped the to Dem – despite a disappointing scandal, this adds to the list of Dem AGs lining up to sue the Trump Administration at every turn

20. Oh and Dick Cheney is dead... #sorrynotsorry

17. In bellwether Bucks County PA on 2 school boards where anti-LGBTQ conservatives who took over in 2021 (& were defeated in 2023), all Republicans were ousted from both boards

18. In CO, Moms for Liberty backed candidates appear to be losing school board races to public school friendly candidates

13. Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, the first prosecutor to convict a president, won re-election

14. Progressive Philly DA Larry Krasner was re-elected

15. Colorado voted to keep free breakfast and lunch for all kids by raising taxes on the wealthy

16. Texas ousted 3 far-right school board members

11. VP JD Vance's half-brother lost his challenge to Cincinnati's incumbent Democratic mayor

12. ‪In Albany, NY, Dorcey Applyrs was elected as the first Black mayor in the city’s history

13. Mayor of Pittsburgh flipped from GOP to Dem

14. Detroit elected its first female mayor ever

9. PA Dems won 3 supreme court races that reaffirm support fo, independent courts & avert possibility of a GOP-led court impacting the upcoming midterms

10. GA Dems flipped 2 seats on the state Public Service Commission - the 1st time Dems won a statewide race for a nonfederal office in 20 yrs

7. Another big VA win: Dems flipped 13 House of Delegates seats - VA leg has been living on a 1-2 vote margin for yrs so this is huge (& may result in more blue state redistricting)

8. Maine, historically averse to gun safety legislation, passed a red flag law & rejected a voter suppression measure

5. CA Prop 50 won so overwhelmingly it was called the moment polls closed – this will likely add 5 Dem seats to the House, balancing shameful GOP gerrymandering in Texas & elsewhere

6. VA also elected Ghazala Hashmi as Lt. Gov - the 1st Muslim woman elected to any statewide office in the country

3. Dem Mikie Sherrill wins NJ gov race, matching Spanberger’s impressive numbers (~56-57% of the vote) despite close polls showing a close race

4. Zohran Mamdani becomes NYC’s next mayor – 1st Democratic Socialist, 1st Muslim, 1st born in Africa, 1st of South Asian heritage & youngest in >100 yrs

[* Note: Only 51 women have ever served as Gov & 17 states have never elected a female gov (CA, CO, FL, GA, ID, IL, IN, MD, MN, MS, MO, NV, ND, PA, TN, WV & WI)]

2. VA Gov-elect Abigail Spanberger is the 1st female governor in VA and 1st Moms Demand Action volunteer to be elected Gov

The VA legislature has been living on a one vote margin for years & I love this for them.

As a Moms Demand Action volunteer, I'm used to the women-drinking-box-wine slur but I don't mind 🍷
