After Dems Sweep 2025 Election, Dem-NPL chair says Now It’s Your Turn to Run

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
November 5, 2025

FARGO – Last night, Democrats won elections up and down the ballot across the country. Democrats won tough races with strong candidates who focused on what matters most to Americans—affordability and kitchen table issues. With these victories, Democrats will enter 2026 with strong momentum heading into the midterms.

North Dakota Democratic-NPL Chair Adam Goldwyn said, “With victories up and down the ballot—from Virginia to Mississippi and Georgia to Iowa—we are now a year minus two days away from Democrats taking back the House and the Senate and putting the brakes on the chaos, corruption, and cruelty of a regime that would deny food assistance, jack up health care costs, and have armed masked gunmen dragging citizens out of their cars on the streets of America.

Here in North Dakota, we are committed to putting statewide candidates on the ballot who will represent the interests of the working people of this state first—people who will not cower as their overlord takes a metaphorical wrecking ball to the VA and a real one to the White House, or who hosts a Great Gatsby-themed party while letting Americans go hungry.

Do you want leaders who support workers over out-of-state corporations? Who support family farmers and ranchers over big ag? Who will listen to North Dakotans, not hide from them? Then we need you. We need you to get into the fight and run for something. Yes, you. You need to run. Last nights’s election showed what we all know: 2026 is going to be the best election for Democrats in a generation. If you are waiting for an invitation, this is your invitation.”
