But not all is lost. Working people won on Tuesday in many ways. Across the country, people stood up for public goods, especially education and transit.
Californians said “no” to tax cuts for the wealthy, protecting $4 billion in funding for public education and health care for children.
Massachusetts voters overwhelmingly rejected a major expansion of privately operated, but publicly funded charter schools.
In Georgia, voters rejected allowing the state to shut down “failing schools” or turn them into charter schools.
Nearly $200 billion in transit infrastructure investment was on the ballot in races across the country, and over two-thirds of those ballot measures passed.
