Dave Carney – who the TX Observer has called "Abbott's Attack Dog" has spent decades helping the GOP dominate Texas politics. When Texas 💙 said they were contesting *every* state legislative district in 2026 – something neither party had done in modern Texas history – Carney had a message for them.

This morning we got a note from a PA candidate who was in a special election earlier this month. In that special, after being outspent TEN TO ONE, jumping through various hoops, and withstanding a variety of shenanigans...he overperformed 2024's top of the ticket. By TWENTY points. But he "lost."

What is Creator Journalism?Join SPJ Georgia for an inside look at the fast-growing world of independent, audience-driven publishing.spjgeorgia.comHot take: investing in down-ballot statehouse races is one of the most efficient uses of political money. Hotter take: when they're in red or previously uncontested districts, your $ is even more efficient because those races are about direct voter contact and you've got a lot of low-hanging fruit.
Very much looking forward to this conversation next week with @hornish.bsky.social, @lizkellynelson.com and @prashiya.bsky.social. Please join us!

This just happened in the TN House. We've got to do something with this "HELL NO" energy. Maybe you feel the same? So it feels like a good time to introduce you to our crowdfunding page for TN 💙 who are running against some of these folks.
Did you know that Every State Blue now has crowdfunding pages for BLUE DOTS running in RED DISTRICTS all over the country? We're directly supporting the folks running hard in the hardest places – in every state with state leg elections this cycle. It's true! ->
First In Line — Put a Democrat First in Every StateThese races have always been last in line for resources. We put them first. Find your state and support Democrats showing up where it matters most.everystateblue.orgFriends, you've probably seen the map. It's awful. It's also an opportunity. We can make them pay dearly for disenfranchising Black voters and underestimating both the people of TN AND the people around the country who care about democracy (and about the people of TN).
Unwinnable ≠ unimportant. Funding blue candidates in red districts builds accountability. Let’s talk about it. Apple: tinyurl.com/bdhcsybf #Organizing #Grassroots #BluePower @everystateblue.bsky.social @hornish.bsky.social @jlaustin13.bsky.social

First In Line — Put a Democrat First in Every StateThese races have always been last in line for resources. We put them first. Find your state and support Democrats showing up where it matters most.everystateblue.orgYesterday we got a lovely handwritten thank you note from Chris Fowler, an OK state leg candidate who's included in Round 1 of our First In Line funding. Like every race in Round 1, he's running in a district that was uncontested last cycle. He's out there making progress and we're proud to help!
A flock of flamingos is called a flamboyance. A group of hummingbirds is called a charm. A bunch of porcupines is called a prickle. And a collection of blue dots in the reddest corners of the country is called ... One helluva wave. 🌊🌊🌊
