This campaign took us to all corners of the state. There are so many people who believe in the future of Minnesota, and I’m excited to get to work!

BREAKING:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins wins election for governor in Alaska.
This is a Democratic flip.
Justin Buoen retweeted
A lot of people spent a lot of energy dumping on DNC Chair @kenmartin73 because he wasn’t banking money.
Contrary to popular belief, he raised a ton of money. The difference is he spent it. On state parties. On organizing. On infrastructure.
It worked. Thank you, Ken.

A huge congratulations to Scott Colom on this momentous victory!
A few years ago, when I went to Mississippi, I knew this was a state Democrats needed to invest in. As Mississippi’s next U.S. Senator, Scott will lower costs for families and put Mississippians first.
DEM FLIP: Democrat Scott Colom has defeated incumbent Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith, flipping Mississippi’s U.S. Senate seat blue.
When he is sworn in, Senator-elect Colom will be the first Democrat in 38 years to represent Mississippi in the Senate.
Congratulations!

Congratulations to Scott Colom on flipping Mississippi’s Senate seat blue for the first time in nearly 40 years! What a great senator he will be!

On Tuesday, Democrats flipped:
At least 43 House seats.
At least 7 Senate seats.
At least 5 governorships.
At least 500 state legislative seats.
With more races still to be called.
This is what happens when you invest in state parties: You can win anywhere.

Congratulations to the next Minnesota House Speaker, my friend Rep. Zack Stephenson, and to Rep. Jamie Long and Rep. Samantha Sencer-Mura, our next House Majority Leader and House Majority Whip!
I can't wait to get to work with you! Lots of challenges and good work ahead.

Ken Martin: "I believe the way you win elections is the way my first boss Paul Wellstone taught us. It's not about who raises the most money, it's actually who can inspire the most people -- door to door, neighbor to neighbor, person to person. That's how you win. And that's what this election showed us."

Since becoming Chair of the DNC, I’ve made it our mission to support state parties with one goal in mind: Winning everywhere.
Tuesday’s midterm results show our strategy is working.

Everyone shit on Ken Martin because the DNC was out of money, but it’s because he was giving all the cash to local parties so we could be more competitive everywhere.
You can criticize Ken for a lot of things (and I have), but he knows how to run a successful political party.
Justin Buoen retweeted
Not long ago critics called for his resignation. This week, DNC Chair @kenmartin73 delivered Democrats their largest victory in 50 years.
Martin told me those critics have yet to reach out with congrats but said he's unconcerned as the DNC prepares for 2028 and beyond.

I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of support for my campaign as we fight to make sure every lawful ballot is counted.
We saw historic voter turnout in this election across Mississippi and showed the country that Mississippi Matters — in large part due to the support of my day one team who has been with me all along.
My campaign, alongside the DSCC and Elias Law Group, Lisa Ross, and our great team of local attorneys, are leading the effort to ensure every eligible voter is heard and I am confident that when votes are counted, we will flip this seat.
Stay tuned for more updates from our team!

Mississippi fun fact: Scott Colom was nominated to be a federal judge by Joe Biden. And he was blocked by… Cindy-Hyde Smith, via the blue slip process. Now Colom leads Hyde-Smith by 1,138 votes in what would be the upset of the century.
Justin Buoen retweeted
Americans made it clear: They want their elected leaders to lower costs and make life more affordable.
That’s what Democrats ran on, and that’s how we won across the country. Even Fox News agrees.
