This year, we broke the GOP’s supermajority in the Iowa Senate by flipping two red seats blue in special elections.
Next year, we’re ready to ensure Republicans don’t restore their unchecked power in the chamber AND break their supermajority in the state House!

Earlier this year, Texas House Dems put up a tireless fight against state Republicans as they forced through new, gerrymandered maps. Next year, we’re in a strong position to pick up seats in the chamber and give Dems more power to push back against GOP recklessness.
