Republicans Are Stealing Your Rights in Your State Houses | At Our Table

We sit down with Heather Williams to talk about why the fight for Democratic power in 2026 may be won or lost in the states. As president of the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, she brings a ground-level view of how state legislatures shape the rights that affect our everyday lives. We dig into special-election gains, the battle to break Republican supermajorities, and the danger of treating a strong midterm environment as a substitute for real organizing. Her case is simple: if Democrats want durable power, they have to compete everywhere and build it from the ground up.
