Also in PA, in neighboring Chester County, Downingtown elected the state's first openly transgender mayor (https://whyy.org/articles/election-2025-pennsylvania-downingtown-mayoral-race/)!

💝seeing the breadth of action across the states means so much! In the town of Cobleskill New York, Dem Brian LaVine won a seat on the town council BY FOUR VOTES. Never doubt that your vote matters.

I believe that there will be a runoff race for mayor of Mpls MN, between the top-two vote-getters - both being Democrats. 😎✌️💙💙💙💙💙

Jess Piper here on SS says we have to run and support Democrats everywhere, in all these local elections (school board, public commissions, town councils, the proverbial dog catcher, etc), in all states red, blue, whatever. Your list here shows it pays off. Super impressive! Look at Mississippi, for example. All great news. Thanks for posting all this information :)

MA Mayor Wu has another term. She ran uncontested since it was so clear she was going to win that her opponents dropped out!

Ariella, thank you sincerely for the time and energy you put into your research. You are SO much appreciated!

A note about the Aurora, Colorado City Council results: our new Dem council members have dislodged incumbent Danielle Jurinsky, who has conceded. Jurinsky is a Trumper who worked with Trump’s campaign to push the lie that Venezuelan gangs had taken over apartment buildings here in Aurora. She had Big Money and MAGA support but we still defeated her! 💖🇺🇸

I’m a Central Bucks voter. Every single race on my ballot went blue. I have enjoyed throwing shade at the leftover ginormous R campaign signs around the area today 😈
