Virginia House Dems just shattered expectations, flipping at least 12 seats blue – the largest Democratic victory since the election of 1989. We invested early and aggressively to make this victory a reality, running candidates in all 100 districts.

This was the most competitive legislative chamber on the ballot this year. Virginia voters clearly chose to bolster the Democratic firewall to push back against the worst of the Trump administration.
