our strategy
The House is winnable.
Join the fight.
Working to win back the House in 2026 isn't just important—it’s a fundamental piece of the "stop Trump" strategy. It puts a necessary check on the MAGA agenda, and it's Step One in removing Republicans from federal office, full stop.
With the narrowest House majority in almost 100 years, winning the House is doable.
To get there, we're focusing our efforts on competitive swing districts where the last election came down to a few thousand (or a few hundred!) votes. These races will be close, meaning volunteer time and resources can have the greatest impact.
Winning back the House in 2026 is achievable—and essential. By taking action now, we're laying the foundation for key wins in the midterms.
19 Flippable seats
Here's where we go on offense. Each of these Republican-held swing districts Trump won by a margin of 6.5% or less in 2024, or has a Partisan Voter Index of R+3 or less—making these races highly competitive in 2026. By focusing volunteer time and money here, we can maximize our impact.

14 Must-hold seats
To win back the House, we must also defend vulnerable Democratic seats. These members of Congress fall into three categories: they won by 4.5% or less in 2024, Trump won their district by 5.5% or less, or their district has a Partisan Voter Index of D+1 or less. Early organizing and fundraising will help these candidates build the strong campaigns they need to win reelection in 2026.
