    Legislative District 26 Democrats: Fighting for the Future

    A new look for a renewed fight

    With filing week behind us, campaigns and activations are getting ready for the busy Summer ahead. In the 26th Legislative District, we’ve been holding endorsement interviews, kicking off PCO engagement to knock on doors for Deb Krishnadasan’s State Senate race, and planning our upcoming fundraiser (get your tickets for the Bridge to Bridge Dinner June 14!).

    We’ve also been preparing materials with our new branding! At our last meeting, you all voted and Fighting for the Future was the clear winner as our organization’s updated slogan. Thank you to our board member Nora Sekowski and designer Florence Anunsen for helping us with the fresh new designs.

    We also agreed it’s time to focus our fight where we can have the most impact, and we aligned as a membership on these three main goals for 2025:

    1. Elect Deb Krishnadasan to State Senate this November
    2. Build the bench of Democratic candidates
    3. Keep the 26th Legislative District connected

    Come to our general meetings the first Thursday of each month to learn more about what we’re doing and how you can help us achieve these goals.
