States Win for Hadley Haas (PA HD 44), Jenna Jacobson (WI SD 17), Chris Thomas (PA SD 24), & Robyn Vining (WI SD 5)

Hadley Haas is running for Pennsylvania House District 44 to unseat a Republican incumbent who has consistently prioritized partisan gridlock over the needs of western Allegheny County families. By focusing on the status quo in Harrisburg, the opposition has left working families struggling with the rising costs of housing, healthcare, and childcare. Hadley’s race is a critical pick-up opportunity to protect the slim Democratic majority in the House and ensure Pennsylvania has a representative who will fight for meaningful results, from gun violence prevention to a cleaner environment, rather than entrenched partisan interests.

Representative Jenna Jacobson is seeking a seat in the Wisconsin State Senate District 17 to break the Republican majority that has held power for nearly two decades. In a district that has moved toward Democrats in recent statewide and national elections, the enactment of fairer legislative maps has made this one of the most important flip opportunities in the state. Breaking the GOP grip on the Senate—and finally fully funding the 42 school districts in the 17th that have been forced into endless referendums—is simply not possible without electing Jenna to this seat.

Chris Thomas is running for Pennsylvania State Senate District 24, a seat that is essential for Democrats to flip the upper chamber and finally secure a governing trifecta in Harrisburg. This southeastern Pennsylvania district has become increasingly competitive as suburban and small-town voters grow frustrated with rising costs and gridlock. By electing Chris, Democrats gain a battle-tested voice to fight for fully funded public schools and lower everyday costs for families, ending the era of Republican obstruction and building a more responsive state government for all Pennsylvanians.

Representative Robyn Vining is running for Wisconsin State Senate District 5, the most flippable Senate district in Wisconsin this cycle under the fair maps that took effect in 2024 and a race that is essential to building a Democratic majority. First elected in 2019 after flipping a Republican-held Assembly seat by fewer than 150 votes—the only Democrat to do so that year—Robyn has repeatedly proven she can win and defend one of the state’s toughest battlegrounds. Since taking office, she has built a reputation as a tireless advocate for public education, healthcare access, common-sense gun reform, and economic fairness. Now, she’s stepping up to the State Senate, bringing her proven record of flipping and holding competitive seats to help deliver progress for Wisconsin families and communities.
