Governor. Attorney General. Secretary of State.
These aren’t just titles — they’re power centers. And right now, they’re the difference between rights protected and rights stripped away in your community.
Here’s what’s actually on the line:
GOVERNORS sign or veto bills that determine whether your body, your family, and your freedom are under government control. They appoint judges who rule on abortion access, voting rights, and discrimination cases in your state. When governors fail, your community pays the price.
ATTORNEYS GENERAL decide who gets justice and who gets prosecuted in your town. They sue to block civil rights protections — or defend them. They investigate police misconduct in your city — or cover it up. They enforce consumer protection laws against corporations robbing families in your zip code — or let them off the hook.
SECRETARIES OF STATE decide who gets to vote in your community. They control where polling places open — making sure every neighborhood has access, not just some. They manage voter rolls, protecting against wrongful purges that silence eligible voters. They determine whether mail-in ballots from your mailbox count, whether early voting hours work for working families, whether language assistance is available for non-English speakers. They certify results, standing as guardians between democracy and disenfranchisement where you live.
This is the firewall.
MICHIGAN 🎯 LEAN DEMOCRATIC
GOVERNOR 🔵
Jocelyn Benson (D) vs. TBD
Why We Win: Current Secretary of State who’s protected Michigan’s elections from day one. Benson’s built a reputation as a defender of voting rights against overreach. She knows how to run statewide — and win. Michigan trusts her with their ballots. They’ll trust her with the governor’s mansion.
ATTORNEY GENERAL 🔵
Eli Savit (D) vs. Doug Lloyd
Why We Win:Washtenaw County Prosecutor who’s clerked for Supreme Court Justices O’Connor and Ginsburg. Savit’s litigated cases on voting rights, education, and reproductive freedom. With federal enforcement stepping back, state enforcement is more critical than ever. Michigan needs an AG who protects every resident.
SECRETARY OF STATE 🔵
Garlin Gilchrist II (D) vs. Anthony Forlini
Why We Win: Software engineer turned Lieutenant Governor who understands elections in the digital age. Gilchrist won the Democratic nomination at convention. He’s already pledged to fight attempts to restrict mail voting: “If he wants to mess with Michiganders’ right to vote, he’s gonna have to come through me.” Native Detroiter, father of three, ready to protect Michigan’s elections from day one.
ARIZONA 🎯 TOSS-UP
GOVERNOR 🔵
Katie Hobbs (D) vs. Andy Biggs (R)
Why We Win: Current Governor who’s shattered Arizona’s all-time veto record — blocking more than 500 extremist bills to protect LGBTQ+ rights, abortion access, water security, public schools, and consumers. She never backed down, even when Republicans tried to defund her own office. Her opponent, Andy Biggs, is a Trump loyalist, Freedom Caucus founder, and 2020 election denier. Arizona voters saw through that con when they rejected Kari Lake in 2022. They’ll see through Biggs too.
ATTORNEY GENERAL 🔵
Kris Mayes (D) vs. Warren Petersen (R)
Why We Win: First woman to hold the office in Arizona history. Mayes has spent her term standing up for consumers, beating back GOP attacks on her office’s authority, and winning. Her opponent, Warren Petersen, is the sitting Senate President who literally surrendered Arizona’s 2020 election records to the Trump administration and voted to overturn the results. This race decides whether Arizona has an AG who fights for working families or one who answers to Trump.
SECRETARY OF STATE 🔵
Adrian Fontes (D) vs. Alexander Kolodin (R)
Why We Win: Marine veteran who believes voting is patriotic, not partisan. Fontes has run Arizona’s elections with transparency and integrity through two cycles — including a 2024 election that delivered Arizona for Trump with zero security failures. His opponent, Alexander Kolodin, is the election denial attorney who built his career trying to overturn the 2020 results and running on a platform of making it harder to vote. Arizona can’t afford to hand the keys to our elections to a guy whose only election experience is trying to overturn one.
GEORGIA 🎯 TOSS-UP
GOVERNOR 🔴
Keisha Lance Bottoms (D) vs. TBD
Why We Win: Former Atlanta mayor who turned a city around. Bottoms knows how to build coalitions that last and deliver results that matter. She’s running on education, healthcare, and economic opportunity — the issues Georgia families wake up thinking about. When chaos hits, she’s the leader who doesn’t flinch. Georgia needs steady hands. She’s proven she has them.
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR 🔴
Josh McLaurin vs. Greg Dolezal (R)
Why We Win: Results over rhetoric. McLaurin passed the first veterans’ PTSD funding in Georgia’s budget and protected families from predatory car booting — all while earning respect across party lines. He’s fought for Medicaid expansion, lower costs, and civil rights. Proven fighter. Ready to lead.
ATTORNEY GENERAL 🔴
Tanya Miller (D) vs. Brian Strickland (R)
Why We Win: She’s seen how corporations exploit families from the inside. Miller’s not afraid to take on giants — insurance companies, polluters, anyone putting profits over people. Georgia needs an AG who’s fought for consumers before and will fight for them in court. When power abuses, she’s the one who pushes back.
SECRETARY OF STATE 🔴
Penny Brown Reynolds vs Tim Fleming (R)
Why We Win: A judge who’ll defend democracy from day one. She’s protected civil rights at the highest levels and knows how to fight in court when voting rights are threatened. Her priorities: protect every vote, empower small businesses, cut bureaucracy, and safeguard seniors from fraud. Experience. Independence. Courage.
IOWA 🎯 TOSS-UP
GOVERNOR 🔴
Rob Sand (D) vs. Zach Lahn
Why We Win: State Auditor who’s spent his career exposing government waste and corruption. Sand’s running on accountability, transparency, and fighting for rural communities left behind. Iowa farmers know he’s one of them — not a career politician, but a watchdog who bites.
NEVADA 🎯 TOSS-UP
GOVERNOR 🔴
Aaron Ford (D) vs. Joe Lombardo (R)
Why We Win: Current Attorney General stepping up to lead Nevada. Ford’s spent his career fighting for workers, seniors, and families against corporate abuse. He knows how to use power to protect people. Nevada’s labor movement is behind him. That matters.
ATTORNEY GENERAL 🔵
Nicole Cannizzaro (D) vs. Adriana Fralick
Why We Win: Senate Majority Leader who’s delivered for Nevada families. Cannizzaro’s legislative record speaks for itself — healthcare access, consumer protection, economic justice. She knows how to win fights that matter. Nevada trusts her with a gavel — they’ll trust her with the AG’s office.
SECRETARY OF STATE 🔵
Cisco Aguilar (D) vs. Jim Marchant
Why We Win: Dentist turned public servant who believes access to voting is as essential as access to healthcare. Aguilar’s running elections with integrity and efficiency. Nevada’s growing diversity matches his vision of inclusive democracy.
WISCONSIN 🎯 TOSS-UP
GOVERNOR 🔵
TBD vs. TBD (Primary August 11)
Why We Win: Seven Democrats are running to succeed term-limited Gov. Tony Evers, including former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, Milwaukee County Exec David Crowley, and State Reps. Francesca Hong, Sara Rodriguez, and Kelda Roys. The field offers strong progressive champions on affordability, reproductive rights, and labor. The suburbs have shifted. Labor’s engaged. Wisconsin’s tired of chaos and ready for competence.
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR 🔵Sarah Godlewski (D) vs. TBD
Why We Win: Current Secretary of State and former State Treasurer who’s already won statewide twice. Godlewski flipped nine Trump counties in 2018 and has traveled all 72 counties. She distributed $113M+ for Wisconsin students and led COVID relief for schools. A fifth-generation Wisconsinite who’s proven she can deliver for working families.
ATTORNEY GENERAL 🔵
Josh Kaul (D) vs. Eric Toney (R)
Why We Win: Former federal prosecutor who’s protected Wisconsinites since 2019. Kaul’s litigated on voting rights, reproductive freedom, and corporate accountability. With federal enforcement retreating, state AGs are the last line of defense for civil rights. He has the expertise and courage to stand up to Republican overreach.
SECRETARY OF STATE 🔵
JoCasta Zamarripa (D) vs. TBD
Why We Win: Milwaukee Alderperson and former State Rep who would be Wisconsin’s first out LGBTQ+ Constitutional Officer and first Latina SOS. A lifelong Milwaukeean with 15+ years of public service fighting for working families, affordable housing, and fully funded schools. Zamarripa will use this office as a platform to protect voting rights and build a better Wisconsin for all of us.
OHIO 🎯 LEAN REPUBLICAN
GOVERNOR 🔴
Amy Acton (D) vs. Vivek Ramaswamy (R)
Why We Win: Former health director who became a household name during the pandemic. Acton made tough calls when others hesitated. She’s running on healthcare access, economic opportunity, and restoring dignity to public service.
And she’s building something Ramaswamy can’t buy: real momentum. Acton’s raised $1.35 million from 17,000 donors — not big checks from wealthy insiders. While Ramaswamy’s making headlines with extreme takes and out-of-touch rhetoric, Acton’s organizing door-to-door, county-by-county, even in deep Republican territory. She’s proven she can govern through chaos.
PENNSYLVANIA 🎯 SAFE DEMOCRATIC
Why We Can’t Take This For Granted: Safe doesn’t mean won. Pennsylvania’s been a battleground for decades, and complacency is how flips happen. Every race, every ballot measure, every down-ticket office depends on turnout. This isn’t about trusting the rating. It’s about earning the win.
GOVERNOR 🔵
Josh Shapiro (D) vs. Stacy Garrity
Why We Win: One of the most popular governors in America. Shapiro’s approval numbers are sky-high because he delivers — infrastructure, education, economic growth. He’s a unifier who gets things done without the drama. Pennsylvania’s seen what competent leadership looks like.
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR 🔵
Austin Davis (D) vs. Jason Richey
Why We Win: Former state legislator who’s made equity his mission. Davis understands that government works best when it works for everyone. He’s proven he can bridge divides and build consensus. Pennsylvania’s diversity is its strength — Davis represents it.
THE BOTTOM LINE: While Washington burns, states protect.
What happens in DC doesn’t stay in DC. It comes for your family. Your body. Your ballot. Your wallet. Your future.
But here’s what they don’t want you to know: state offices are the firewall.
