Nov. 4, 2025, was a significant day for many Americans. As they do every two years, voters across the country carved out part of their day to visit their local polling places and cast ballots in their states' general elections. Often overshadowed by presidential elections, state legislative races tend to receive far less national attention. This is despite how local politics play a vital role in shaping the broader legislative landscape of the United States, one that ultimately influences decisions felt around the world.

They are hungry for leaders, for heroes, for national politicians who might, like a young Barack Obama, inspire them anew. The bench, for 2028, is relatively deep - there is no shortage of governors, senators, former Biden-administration officials, and stray outsiders who may enter the primary - but no single man or woman has emerged from the heap to captivate millions.
