The first step in flipping the House is defending our most vulnerable incumbents.
​
All three of these candidates won by very narrow margins in ‘24 and are already top targets of the Republicans in ‘26. They need our support.​

We must flip the House and close the Senate Gap in 2026.
A bill that deprives up to 16 million Americans of their health care, eliminates any efforts to address climate change, and increases the national debt by at least $3 trillion passed the House by just four votes and the Senate by a tiebreaker.
If Democrats held the majority in the House and had even a couple more Senate seats, that would not have happened.
Our next and best chance to flip the House and close the Senate gap in 2026.
