• View the recording and the slide deck of the Nov 13 Fight For Our Future: States Win! event if you missed it.
• Celebrate the entire SD community at States Win National’s Volunteer Appreciation Party, Tues Dec 9, 5pm PT.

States Win leaders hosted the Nov 13 Fight for Our Future event celebrating 23 victories across Virginia, Iowa, Mississippi, and Minnesota. We heard inspiring stories from Delegate Joshua Cole (VA) and Minority Leader Dianne Hesselbein (WI), as well as reflections from States Win organizers and alumni.

These wins are a launching pad for 2026 — our work is already underway, and this is when we deepen our efforts, sharpen our strategy, and convert momentum into long-term power.

Agenda highlights included:

• 2:28 Opening Remarks (Sarah Curmi)
• 7:34 2025 Election Results (Taylor Hogeland)
• 14:20 Volunteer Impact (Susan Farrell)
• 18:23 Thank You from Virginia (Delegate Joshua Cole)
• 23:39 Community & Organizing (Catherine Grundmann)
• 35:04 Pivot to 2026 (Shawn Werner)
• 45:30 What’s Possible in 2026 (Sen. Dianne Hesselbein)

Check out a recording and the slide deck.

SDSB is proud to support Darrin Camilleri again in 2026. After serving three terms in the State House, he won his Senate seat in 2022 with States Win’s help. Darrin has been a tireless advocate for public education, workers’ rights, and environmental protections — and his re-election will be crucial to keeping the Michigan Senate blue.

Learn more about Darrin and help him secure his seat in 2026.
