States Win is the only national political organization focused exclusively on building progressive power in state legislatures by supporting candidates in competitive races nationwide—because states stand on the frontlines of progress.

By supporting States Win, you are not contributing to just one temporary campaign — you are making it possible for every one of our candidates to drastically expand the capacity of their campaigns through our political staff and volunteer teams. 

Our staff provide best-in-class guidance and hands-on support to our candidates, and our volunteer network contributes both small dollar donations and voter outreach. In 2024, our teams raised an average of more than $55,000 for our top targeted candidates and made 62% of their voter contact calls.

Simply put, the fight for the future of our democracy is being waged at the state level — and Democrats are entering the game decades late. Thanks to two Trump administrations stacking an ultra-conservative Supreme Court and eviscerating the oversights and protections of the federal government, states have more power than ever before to decide the fate of their communities.

Over the next five years, we aim to play a pivotal role in putting Democrats in the strongest position possible for redistricting in 2031, laying the groundwork for a post-Trump era that restores American democracy and ushers in unprecedented progress. 

To do so, we will pinpoint key battles that flip or hold chambers, break Republican supermajorities, and make inroads into badly gerrymandered states, and we will prioritize races that support broader victories like nested opportunities further up the ballot.
