Eric Holder Statement on Democrats Winning Trifecta Control in Wisconsin

Washington, D.C. – Today, Eric H. Holder, Jr., the 82nd Attorney General of the United States and Chairman of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC), released the following statement in response to Wisconsin Democrats winning trifecta control in the state:

“Congratulations to Governor-elect David Crowley and Wisconsin Democrats on winning full control of state government. Wisconsinites gave their governor and a Democratic legislature the power to deliver on the issues that matter to them, including lowering costs, standing up to protect democracy, and reversing policies imposed on them over the past two decades by an uncaring political party.  In the face of grave, ongoing threats to our democracy, now is not the time for Democrats to sit on the sidelines. Voters are demanding that their leaders take bold action to meet the moment, and now is the time to use the power entrusted to elected leaders to level the playing field and protect the voting power of the American people.”

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND:

Attorney General Eric Holder and NDRC were deeply engaged in Wisconsin this cycle, beginning with the April Wisconsin Supreme Court race, where AG Holder campaigned for Judge Chris Taylor in Milwaukee, Janesville, and Kenosha and headlined a virtual fundraiser for her successful campaign. 

Gubernatorial and state legislative races were a top priority in the 2026 midterms for Attorney General Holder, who endorsed David Crowley and Democrats running for both chambers of the Wisconsin Legislature. Heading into the November election, Attorney General Holder supported GOTV efforts by highlighting these races on social media and joining a WisDems phone bank event to mobilize voters in competitive districts. In addition, NDRC and its affiliates directed more than $500,000 to the Badger State, including contributions to support the governor’s race and candidates running for the state legislature, and supported GOTV efforts by sending texts to voters in key legislative districts.
