31st Street Monthly Mtng - Feb 22 2026 - Nebraska - Strategy to Flip Senate Seat [52:29-54:58]

Great. Thanks, Mary. All right. I believe Steve is next. He had something that he wanted to share. Is that correct? That's correct, Aaron. Thanks so much. Appreciate it. I'm Steve Anders and I'm on the 31st Street's Virginia team along with George, Lynn, Jim and Roberta as the leaders of that team. We have a quick update on what's going on in Virginia. In November 2025, in the election, the Virginia sent a message of hope to the nation that we are determined to fight back against the violent and cruel federal administration. Now just a few months later, Virginia has the opportunity to do that again. This time the stakes are even higher and we'll need all of you and everyone you know to mobilize Virginians to vote yes on the redistricting amendment in April. So as I said, it's going to stay wide referendum to allow temporary redistricting in Virginia and on April 21st. So here's the backstory. Seven red states have either already redistricted or have plans to do that to gain red seats in Congress in the midterm. In Virginia, we're fighting back and unlike those other red states, we're letting Virginia voters decide whether we should allow this to happen. So there's going to be that special election in April 21st with early in-person voting starting on March 6th. You may have heard that there have been some legal challenges along the way from a partisan judge down in southwestern Virginia to deep red southwestern Virginia. These challenges were expected and we frankly expect more, but we also expect them to be overcome and that the referendum will be held on schedule. And again, this could mean flipping as Jim as Jim said at the very top of the call flipping four to five seats in Virginia in the Virginia seats in the House of Representatives. It's a special election. Most of us on this call know for special elections is all about turnout. So as Jim mentioned, we plan to have some phone banking and canvassing opportunities in as soon as they're good in place, but should be soon. We're going to include them in the newsletter as these things become available. So keep your eyes out for them in the next few weeks. And we appreciate all the support you can do to help make Virginia a blue state and send Flip the House in next in the midterms. Thank you. Back to you, Aaron and Lynn. Thank you, Steve. It's awesome. Michelle, you also have something to share.
