On November 4, Americans have 53,000 chances to tell extremists that we don’t want them in power. That’s how many open seats are on ballots nationwide in our upcoming local elections.
But municipal elections generally have low voter turnout, especially in years like 2025 that don’t have presidential or congressional races. Usually less than 20% of registered voters show up, but too much is at stake right now to let that happen this year.
We know that the majority of Americans share our values and want commonsense leadership. We see it in poll after poll, at the No Kings protests, and in every event Red Wine & Blue hosts! So we need to make sure that we’re the majority using our voices at the ballot box. That starts by making sure that people know these elections are even taking place. We’ve made that easy for you to do this week!
