Association of State Democratic Committees

Ken Martin ran for DNC Chair with a focus on strengthening organizing efforts at every level and winning elections so more Americans have a fair shot at achieving the American Dream. And he’s doing just that. Ken believes the country is being harmed by Donald Trump and sees elections, local, state and national races, as an effective way to push back against the Trump Administration and create lasting change. Since Ken took the helm, Democrats have secured important victories in governor’s races in Virginia and New Jersey, expanded legislative gains nationwide, and exceeded expectations in special elections from Georgia to Wisconsin to Texas. Those wins have included critical statehouse races in Virginia, key judicial elections that help protect fair voting processes, and flipped legislative seats, including one near President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago stronghold. Ken’s approach is centered on delivering measurable results and staying focused on what matters most. At a time when families are dealing with high gas prices, rising mortgage rates, and increasing grocery costs, he believes Democrats must remain committed to winning control of Congress this November and building momentum toward historic victories in 2028. @kenmartin73 @DNC @MassDems

"Ken and his team are laser-focused on taking back Congress in November and the White House in 2028. Let’s keep fighting the good fight beside Ken and our partners at the DNC." Read Chair @BerettaLiz's full statement:

Federal judges have ruled that over 10,000 ICE detentions were illegal. That’s roughly 90% of all cases.

Breaking news: Batteries

Trump finally admitted it.

One of the best pieces written about how @TheDemocrats and @DemStateParties are re-building state infrastructure to win this cycle and beyond. We are done with only targeting a handful of states. That's not party strength, that's an outdated playbook that doesn't work. Thx @michaelkapp for writing this and making the case for year-round permanent infrastructure, exactly what Chair @kenmartin73 is doing. thehill.com/opinion/campai…

Flagging what state chairs say in this article for all including @jonfavs @mattyglesias -- we need eachother to defeat Trump and Republicans. I take criticism seriously and ideas to improve are always welcome. We must invest in all state parties to expand the map and win elections up and down the ballot. I understand frustrations on autopsy, more on that soon. State parties conducted reviews of our operations and will now write a 4 year plan for the first time (ever?) in each state. We are making real changes to infrastructure to be more responsive to voters, county parties, caucuses, councils, candidates and elected officials. And it's working. We won 90% of the over 300 elections so far in 25 and 26. Record candidate recruitment. Record county party organizing. Yelling at eachother solves nothing.

The Supreme Court has gutted the Voting Rights Act. Join us for a virtual briefing on May 4 to learn how we are fighting back against the Louisiana v. Callais decision and ensuring every American has their voice heard this November: win.dnc.org/callais

Your agents shot a mother in the face, then called her a "fuckin' bitch."

This is what the first partisan voter registration program in DNC history looks like! When We Count is registering thousands of voters in key states ahead of the midterms—and organizers like Miranda will be leading the charge.

You all started it and we fucking finished it.

A reminder that Democrats have over performed or won in upwards of 90% of elections in 2025-26. And that's in over 30 states, because of @TheDemocrats investment directly into state parties. Organizing early isn't sexy, but it's effective and delivers results for Americans.

The streak of Democratic wins and overperformances since Donald Trump took office has Republicans on edge. We’ve flipped 30 seats and won elections in ruby-red districts. Republicans don’t want to admit it, but they’re scared.

VIRGINIA: Today is the last day of early voting before the election on April 21! You have the opportunity to stand up to Trump and stop his attempt to rig the midterms for Republicans. Head to IWillVote.com to make your plan to vote!

There's no magic in politics - Democrats are winning across the country because Democrats are organizing across the country If we want to win in 50 states, we have to invest in 50 state parties And @kenmartin73 and @janekleeb are doing that through their historic investments

The Supreme Court will hear the Trump administration’s anti-American challenge to birthright citizenship today. No amount of fearmongering or scapegoating can change this fundamental truth: If you were born here, you are an American.

Tune into @NotreDame on Wed for their Democracy Talks series on bridging the rural and urban political divide. My panel is at 5pm ET: strategicframework.nd.edu/events/2026/04…

It’s official: With Rep.-elect Nathan’s win, Democrats have flipped 30 state legislative seats since Trump's election. Trump’s Republicans have flipped zero.

Democrats win when state parties succeed! Under the leadership of @kenmartin73 and @janekleeb state parties have been provided with HISTORIC resources. Democratic wins aren’t coincidences, strong state parties deliver great results.

Happy National Purple Day
