Ain’t it fun to vote!? Yesterday officially wrapped up the 2026 primary season! We’re grateful for every Louisville Democrat who stepped up and put their name on the ballot, and for every single volunteer that helped these candidates along the way! Whether you knocked doors, made calls, or more, thank you for your hard work! Lastly, thank you to every voter who took the time to participate in our democracy and make their voices heard! Democracy depends on engaged communities, thoughtful conversations, and people willing to show up — and you showed up and showed OUT! Now, it’s time to start working for November!

Want to help us and Democratic candidates get ready for November? Fill out our interest form (link in bio!) and a member of our board will reach out with resources to help you get involved! The work doesn’t stop here!
