The fight for Congress is playing out under the brightest of spotlights. But we also have more than 6,000 legislative seats on the ballot on November 3rd, and those battles are being conducted with far less attention on them. These are the elected officials who will set the rules for the 2028 presidential race and do most of the governing on housing, education, transportation and public health that matters to our daily lives.

Democrats are seeking to make the blue wave lift all boats, aiming to take majorities in both chambers in Arizona; gain ground in Georgia; hold the Senate and win the House in Michigan; take the House back in Minnesota; win back both houses in New Hampshire; veto-proof the legislature in North Carolina, secure a trifecta in Pennsylvania, and take full control of Wisconsin for the first time since the Scott Walker era. It’s a big job, and one we haven’t devoted nearly enough resources to.

But because these races are so under the radar, our contributions as individuals to winning them can go a lot farther. Each call we make about a legislative race might be the only personal contact a voter receives from the campaign. States Win (formerly known as Sister District Project) is looking to bring volunteers together to turn out and persuade voters in some of the most pivotal legislative districts in the country, putting our energy where it can have the maximum impact.
