What was MVP's impact on the 2025 elections?
In the 2025 elections, across over a dozen states and nearly one hundred races, MVP partners helped win key races up and down the ballot. Toplines:
- In Wisconsin, MVP partners helped defend a 4-3 Democratic majority on the state Supreme Court, opening the door for voting rights protections and victories in 2026 and 2028.
- In California, partners helped pass Prop 50, pushing back against Trump’s partisan gerrymandering and potentially gaining Dems up to five seats in the U.S. House.
- In New York City, partners helped elect affordability champion Zohran Mamdani as Mayor, providing a bold, pragmatic blueprint we can replicate and tailor appropriately to different communities in 2026.
- In Virginia, partners helped flip the governorship and significantly increase Democrats’ margin in the House of Delegates, solidifying Democratic governing power and setting the stage for winning more U.S. House seats in 2026.
- In Pennsylvania, partners used relational organizing and new-media tactics to help retain three Democratic seats on the state Supreme Court, protecting rights and election integrity from MAGA attacks.
