VA elected @abigailspanberger.com as governor — the message is clear: voters are looking for steady leadership amid economic strain and rising costs. Now, they must govern and Virginians expect serious work on affordability and stability. Wishing the Commonwealth success in this next phase.

@mikiesherrill.bsky.social’s election as governor in NJ underscores a clear voter priority: tackling affordability and economic pressure. That focus isn’t limited to one state — it’s a national mandate. Best of luck to Gov-elect Sherrill and the residents of NJ as the work ahead begins.

This election was about who counts, who has a voice, and who gets to validate the will of the voters in the next presidential race. #Prop50

Last night, California voters responded by passing #Prop50, giving themselves more say in when and how their congressional lines can be redrawn. It’s a direct reaction to watching political power abuse in real time to shape who holds the gavel — and who gets to decide the future of democracy.

After Texas pushed through mid-cycle redistricting at Donald Trump’s urging, a lot of people took notice. He wasn’t subtle about the intent — he wants control over the House majority heading into 2028 so he can influence who certifies the next presidential election. #Prop50

Voters in NYC sent a clear message: affordability & economic pressure are top issues for working families. Mayor-Elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social was laser-focused on this. As the country looks ahead, affordability must remain front & center. Wishing NYC the best as this new term begins.

These maps may change the lines, but they don’t change who I represent or why I serve. I’ll keep standing up for North Texans, no matter what number they put next to my name.

This isn’t the end — we must continue to fight. Democrats didn’t start this battle, but we sure as hell won’t run away from it.

I am incredibly grateful for their sacrifice, which has elevated this mid-decade, rigged redistricting scheme to the national stage. Because of their efforts, Democratic states are now gearing up to fight back against Trump’s power grab.

The @texashdcc showed true courage by standing up to a corrupt plan designed to protect Trump. Dems have been the last line of defense while Abbott & his Republicans worked behind doors to erase communities of color from the map, dismantle fair representation & lock in power for the next decade.

I’m proud to stand with these brave lawmakers. As Donald Trump & Republicans look to rig House elections in other states, I encourage anyone who cares about making sure we have free and fair maps to speak up. I will keep fighting to protect our democracy & to make sure every Texan’s voice counts.

Walking out isn’t a political stunt; it’s an act of courage to defend the rights of millions of Texans whose voices & votes are being stripped away behind closed doors.

Texans deserve fair maps, fair representation & fair elections, not gerrymandered districts that put politicians above the people.

Julie Johnson @juliejohnsontx.bsky.social · Aug 4

When lawmakers manipulate district lines to choose their voters, instead of voters choosing their leaders our democracy is under direct attack. These maps carve up Black, brown & working-class communities to dilute their power in exchange for protecting Donald Trump & his unpopular political agenda.

I stand in full support of my fellow Texas legislators who broke quorum to stop an outrageous, undemocratic, and racist redistricting plan designed to silence communities and rig the maps for political gain.

Julie Johnson @juliejohnsontx.bsky.social · Aug 2

They didn’t listen to the public. They didn’t care about fairness. This was about power—plain and simple.

I’m going to fight this every step of the way. Because our communities will not be erased.

The TX House Congressional Redistricting Committee just voted out a racist redistricting map—rushing through a plan that silences Black, Latino & Asian voters in places like TX‑32.

TX is a majority-minority state. DC drew maps to erase voters instead of empowering them. It’s strategic, intentional & violates voting rights. It’s an insult to our democracy & our intelligence. Every Texan deserves a fair vote & a real choice. I will fight like hell to make sure they get it.
