WE'VE BEEN PREPARING FOR THIS MOMENT.

The path forward runs through state legislatures. We have the tools, the data, and the strategy. What we need now is for you to invest where the power is. Join us.

The States Project builds power for the lawmakers who will protect our votes. In 2025, we expanded Virginia’s House majority by 13 seats. In 2026, we’re expanding our map to protect Americans wherever it’s on the line.

If you want to fix our country, work with us in the states.

Americans are being squeezed from two directions — rising costs stripping away their ability to make ends meet, and their voices being stripped from elections. They are losing faith that government can work for them. BUT, state legislatures are where people get their power back.

And we need you in this fight.
