ICYMI: DLCC Flips Seats in Every State on Ballot

With more than 500 flips nationwide, Democrats have gone beyond battlegrounds to flip seats in every state on the ballot.

WASHINGTON — With a few races still outstanding, election results from Tuesday now show the DLCC and state Democrats are projected to flip seats in every state on the ballot. This milestone is part of a sweeping shift in the balance of state power this year as Democrats have flipped more than 500 seats, created 12 new Democratic majorities and six new trifectas and shattered Republicans’ power in the states.

Of the 500 seats flipped this year, more than 200 were outside of top-tier battlegrounds for statewide races. These flips in GOP strongholds helped break GOP supermajorities and put Democrats in a stronger negotiating position in states across the map. Future majorities are built one seat at a time, and these widespread gains will help fuel our strategy in elections to come.

Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee President Heather Williams issued the following statement:

“The DLCC and state Democrats have proved what is possible when you put statehouses at the center of a national strategy. Democrats flipped seats in every state on the ballot this year—not just in key battlegrounds, but also deep into Republican territory. The depth and breadth of our wins last week reinforce the DLCC’s winning strategy to build Democratic power from the ground up across the country. Alongside 12 new majorities and six new governing trifectas, our 500 flips prove that when state legislative races have the resources they need, we can deliver wins in red, blue, and purple states alike.

“The inroads built by Democrats across the nation underscore what is possible when we invest at this ballot level. These victories are just the beginning; with upcoming special elections and 2027 and 2028 on the horizon, the DLCC’s work has never been more crucial. Redistricting, voting rights, and democracy itself are on the line, and the stakes have never been higher. The decisions made in the statehouse shape the future of our nation—and we are ready to get back to work.”

The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) leads the national strategy to secure Democratic power in our state legislatures. We are the campaign arm for more than 3,000 state legislators and thousands of candidates across all 50 states who are advancing Democratic values and standing up to the dangerous MAGA agenda every single day.
