Statement from Randal L. Gaines, Chair of the Louisiana Democratic Party Tuesday’s sweeping Democratic Victories

Baton Rouge – Tuesday’s sweeping Democratic victories across the nation represent a defining and pivotal moment for our party and for our vital democratic cause. We must rally our Democratic forces behind this awakening — a recognition by voters everywhere of the damaging impact of right-wing Republican leadership.
Democratic leaders have consistently shown the commitment, courage, and moral fiber required to protect the public interest, build a strong economy, and save our nation’s true democratic form of government.
In Tuesday’s elections, Democrats ran strong candidates, waged strategic campaigns, and drove record voter turnout by staying focused on what matters most — affordability, opportunity, and the everyday concerns of working families. These victories show what’s possible when we meet voters where they are and speak directly to their needs and hopes.
These tremendous wins nationwide mark a turning point — the emergence of a national movement to reclaim our country from the grip of tyrannical power predators who seek power through division and control.
Here in Louisiana, and across America, our work continues. Right-wing republican extremists are working to manipulate election systems and strip away our rights for generations to come. We must not let them succeed.
Now is the time for Democrats to rise up and fight back — to call out these anti-democratic power grabs. To not only register a new generation of voters, but to “VOTE” in massive numbers in “EVERY election and to ensure that every Democrat votes.
It’s time to step up, stand up, and save our democracy — and save our future.
