November 2025 Election Updates

The results are in — and for the Democratic Party, it was a night of momentum and meaningful victories. Across the country, voters sent a clear signal about their priorities: affordability, leadership, stability, and tangible results. Here’s how we’re seeing it play out — and what it means for our precinct in Austin.

Highlighted Victories

• In Virginia, Abigail Spanberger was elected governor, making history as the state’s first female governor, and helping flip that governorship from Republican to Democrat.

• In New Jersey, former Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill won the governor’s race, helping Democrats retain control of top state offices.

• In New York City, Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor with a progressive platform focused on housing, affordability, and public transit — becoming the first Muslim and youngest mayor of the city in more than a century.

• More broadly, Democrats made significant local and ballot-measure gains, including in states like California (with a major redistricting measure that could yield more Democratic U.S. House seats and help undue the Texas redistricting damage), and in county and municipal races across the country.

Why These Wins Matter for Big Stacy Democrats

1. Affordability = a winning message. Many of these races turned on economic issues — housing, cost of living, taxes. Voters are looking for leadership that tackles everyday challenges.

2. Local momentum supports local work. When Democrats succeed at the state and city levels, it creates openings for precincts like ours to build stronger volunteer networks, connect with newly engaged voters, and scale our organizing for races ahead.

3. A reminder: turnout matters — even in off-year elections. This wasn’t just about the big named offices. The enthusiasm, especially among younger voters and in metro areas, signals an energized base we can tap into.

4. This is our moment in Texas too. While our state has its own dynamics, seeing the Democratic message resonate in these varied contexts gives us proof that bold, locally-rooted, values-driven campaigns win. We can adapt these lessons for our precinct, and the neighborhoods around Big Stacy Park.
