John,
The Republican Party is on defense, even in places they once called safe.
In Florida, Democrats surged by 15 points. In Pennsylvania, we flipped a GOP seat that hadn’t changed hands in a century. And in Wisconsin, despite Elon Musk pouring $20 million into a right-wing Supreme Court race, Democrats won anyway.
The message is clear: There are no more safe Republican districts. But that only matters if Democrats have the courage to fight everywhere.
It’s time to bring the 50-State Strategy back to the forefront. Our model is clear: fight everywhere so we can win everywhere. And now, even the GOP knows they’re vulnerable. Elise Stefanik was pulled from UN ambassador consideration because Republicans are too scared to risk her seat.
Yet, too many races are still going uncontested. Too many districts get ignored by national party leaders. While MAGA extremism festers, the DNC, DCCC, and DSCC are still writing off entire sections of the map. That's not just a losing strategy, it’s political malpractice.
Tell Democratic leadership: stop skipping districts. Start competing and investing in every single one.
Democracy for America doesn’t sit back and wait for someone else to take action. We’ve always believed that democracy is something we do together, every year, in every community. That belief has powered the rise of bold movements and progressive momentum across the country.
We know what works: grassroots energy, local investment, and national coordination. That’s why we don’t just respond to election cycles, we build toward long-term transformation. DFA’s role today is bigger than any one candidate. We exist to build pressure, push boundaries, and organize power wherever it's needed.
Our 50-state commitment is a strategy to reach the communities too often written off and ignored. That’s how we change the political map, and that’s how we change the future.
The national Democratic Party needs to get on board. No more safe districts. No more abandoned voters. No more excuses.
There are no safe Republican districts. Call on the DNC, DCCC, and DSCC to fight everywhere now.
Together, we’ll turn every district into a battleground for justice.
