WASHINGTON As President Trump delivers his State of the Union address and tries to paper over his disastrous record, state legislative Democrats are hard at work winning more elections. Tonight, DLCC Spotlight candidates Ana Tiburcio and Jen Mazzocco won their special elections in Pennsylvania to preserve the razor-thin one-seat House majority. Not only that, DLCC Spotlight candidate Scott Harriman defended a key House seat in Maine.
State legislative Democrats have crushed Republicans in special elections throughout 2025 and 2026 flipping 26 seats to Republicans embarrassing 0 since Trump was elected. The DLCC is carrying our winning strategy to more specials on the horizon and to our ambitious 27-state target map this November.
Another Tuesday, another defiant round of wins for state legislative Democrats. The split screen tonight couldnt be starker: As President Trump drones on and tries to cover up his agenda thats left working families behind, Democrats are winning elections. Republicans rambling cant hide their toxic record from voters.
Every special election is an opportunity to build power and put Republicans on the back foot heading into the midterms, and thats exactly what weve done tonight in Pennsylvania and Maine. Both states are on the DLCCs target map this November as we prepare to translate our momentum into the biggest wins this ballot level has seen in nearly two decades.
