With heavy hearts, we are processing the difficult news that Donald Trump has won the presidency once more. It’s the moment we all feared most, yet it’s also a moment we’re prepared to meet. 🧵

The red wave hit this year: a ~6% national swing to Trump, from 2020 margins. In Wisconsin, thousands of heroes pulled the swing down to 1.5%. More D votes statewide & in 46 counties. Tammy Baldwin won. Huge wins in the state legislature. Deeply grateful to all—it mattered. 🧵

In 2020 I was one of 7 dems that won a district that Trump won, so I held a series of listening sessions with people who voted for Trump and voted for me to understand their actions. I reread the transcripts yesterday and much of it felt like it could have been said today. THREAD

Thank you, Mallory McMorrow, for shouting out our efforts. State legislatures are more important than ever and will play a crucial role in checking Trump’s policies. The fight isn’t over—and we invite everyone who’s ready to build long-term power to join us:

In a tough year for Democrats, I am incredibly proud that we flipped ten seats in the Wisconsin Assembly and protected all of our incumbents. I can’t fully express my gratitude to all of the volunteers, staff, and candidates who were part of these competitive races.

Dems need to embrace making it easier & faster to produce the things people need — e.g., housing, clean energy, child care, transit — & move away from government-created scarcity. An abundance approach lowers cost of living. Dems need to lean into being the Party of abundance.

We’re thrilled to share our 2024 Impact Report! While the presidential outcome wasn’t what we hoped for, our state-level victories prove the power of grassroots organizing and the lasting impact of our work. Read the full report here: sisterdistrict.com/impact
