TSP’s Executive Director Mandara Meyers on the results in Virginia

“Tonight’s results in Virginia represent a resounding victory for the Commonwealth’s voters and for everyone who values personal freedom and our democracy. By not only protecting but expanding the House majority, we’ve once again proven that The States Project has cracked the code for how to win at the state legislative level — by treating these elections with the seriousness they deserve, applying data-driven strategies, and investing the resources candidates need to win. Virginians chose leaders who will move the needle on making groceries and childcare more affordable, advancing Congressional maps that push back against rightwing extremism, and ensuring government works for hardworking families and not for special interests. Our data-driven investments helped deliver this victory, but as we look across the country next year, every seat will be a fight and we need investment that matches the importance of the power of these majorities.”
