We caught up with Senator Murphy (@chrismurphyct.bsky.social), and he shared his advice to first-time candidates: one-on-one voter contact matters.

Across the country, we have seen people reject the MAGA agenda at the ballot box.

Just last week Aftyn Behn over-performed by ~13%, so the definition of a swing district has changed!

Democrats have an opportunity to flip some seats in 2026!

Congratulations to @aftynbehn.bsky.social on an incredible campaign.

In a district Trump won by 22 points, she closed the gap to 9, built important Democratic infrastructure, and forced the GOP to spend millions defending a “safe” seat.

That’s not a loss. That’s a preview of 2026.

TN-07! Today is an Election Day!

You have the opportunity to vote for our learner, Aftyn Behn.

Team Aftyn is proof that when Democrats run, they can win anywhere.

Over 20% of the 64 Delegates who kept Virginia Democratic last night are NDTC learners. Sic semper tyrannis, indeed!
