In the historic 2022 midterm elections, Democrats not only defended every legislative chamber in their control — we flipped the Pennsylvania House, the Minnesota Senate, and both chambers of Michigan’s legislature. We also blocked Republican supermajorities in Wisconsin and North Carolina, keeping the Democratic governors’ important veto power intact.
That’s a huge deal — and it couldn’t have happened if Democrats resigned to only showing up every four years.
We can continue to build on these successes by maintaining our investments, building the Democratic bench, and keeping an on-the-ground presence.
That’s why Progressive Takeover and our parent organization, Progressive Turnout Project, have invested millions in Campaign Fellows to support legislative candidates at the state level. In these out-of-the-spotlight races, our investment can have a real impact — and pay dividends for Democrats for years to come.
In the 2021–22 cycle, our 1,040 Campaign Fellows supported Democrats running for federal and state office across the country. Read more about the Fellows program →
