RELEASE: DLCC Spotlights Ten Must-Watch State Races in 2025

WASHINGTON — Today, the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) announced the top ten state legislative races to watch this November. Wins for DLCC Spotlight candidates across these toss-up districts would decide or strengthen Democratic majorities in the country’s most competitive state legislative chambers and break a GOP supermajority.

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

“There are no off years for the DLCC, and we are laser-focused on supporting the strong state Democrats running in some of the most competitive races all across the country this November. These candidates have strong roots in their communities and are talking to voters every day about how the GOP’s failing agenda is destroying economic opportunities and has even brought the government to a grinding halt. Voters in New Jersey, Virginia, and across the country are already heading to the polls ready to hold Republicans accountable because they know who to blame.”

These are the DLCC Spotlight candidates running in some of the most competitive races this November (alphabetized by state):

Amanda Hemmingsen-Jaeger (MN SD-47)
Theresa Gillespie Isom (MS SD-02)
Andrea Katz (NJ LD-08)
Anthony Angelozzi (NJ LD-08)
May Nivar (VA HD-57)
Jessica Anderson (VA HD-71)
Elizabeth Guzman (VA HD-22)
Lily Franklin (VA HD-41)
Kimberly Pope Adams (VA HD-82)
Deb Krishnadasan (WA SD-26)
