We did it!

November 8, 2025

Dear Game Changers Members and Friends,

Choose your favorite sports metaphor. Home run. Slam dunk. Touchdown. Nothing but net. Goal!  No matter the lingo, last night the good guys won!!

And what a win it was. Democrats swept the Virginia House of Delegates, winning ALL 10 of the districts targeted by our Game Changers Giving Circle, gaining at least 13 seats in total! And we helped restore a Democratic trifecta in the state.

Last night’s results underscore the eternal wisdom of Margaret Mead—that “a small group of thoughtful people can make a difference.” When people pull together for a common cause, good things CAN happen.

And yesterday, good things did indeed happen. Thanks to all who contributed time, money and support to this significant, across-the-board victory. Yahoos all around!

Committed and undeterred,

The Game Changers Leadership Circle*

Game Changers: We are deeply committed and results-oriented members of the Game Changers Giving Circle, whose mission is to help Democrats rise again. The States Project’s Giving Circles are groups of like-minded people who pool resources to support candidates who can win and affect the balance of power in state legislatures.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful people can make a difference.

Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”   - Margaret Mead
