This is a big deal so let's celebrate. It's working. Bigly.
From my local Indivisible group:
In case you haven’t heard, we have our first Sister District victory in hand. Stephanie Hansen won the Delaware State Senate race on Saturday. And not only did she win—she crushed it.
This was expected to be a very close race—the Democrat who won in 2014 won by only 267 votes, less than 2 percent. But our efforts helped to hand the Republicans a massive defeat: Stephanie won by 2,187 votes, or 17 percent. Turnout was off the charts, especially for an off-cycle election. Democrats will maintain control of the state Senate, and will hold on to one of our only 6 Democratic trifectas (where one party holds control over the governorship and both legislative chambers). What does this all mean?
IT'S WORKING.
Stephanie’s win is more than a single victory. This is evidence that when we mobilize for down-ballot candidates, we can have a huge impact. This is how we’re going to take our country back, one election at a time.
We’re so proud of our Sister District community. We chipped in online and in real life, holding fundraisers across the country. Together with Flippable, we raised $145,000 in small donations in the most expensive special election in Delaware history. In Delaware, we connected with Women’s March Huddles to get the word out and to phone-bank with our neighbors. We woke up early and drove from as far away as New York to strengthen the ranks of Stephanie’s 1,000+ volunteers.

There are more races across the country in [font size="6"]2017[/font]. We don't need to ignore this year to focus on 2018. We need to keep it up NOW beacause many of the state, county, and local races happen this year (including 2 governor's races)!
We are electing a new Governor AND (even more importantly) the whole House of Delegates ... and ... the whole Senate.
Please show up for the primaries on June 13th and the election on November 7th.
Let's make this the first swell of the 2018 wave. Surf's up!
and we know how DU feels about Crispy and his GOP pals (he can't run again thankfully)! 
They can't keep us down!
Kicking.
Thank you for the post, Happyhippychick!
