PRIMARY & midterM CANDIDATES
Early Donations Matter
The 2026 midterms are upon us. Donate now to promising candidates.
Funds given now—or in recurring increments from now until November, will be far more effective than the same amount of financial support given in the fall.

House Toss-Up Races
Toss-Up races are the most competitive races. Both parties have an equal chance of winning these seats. Below is the Cook Political Report list of Toss- Up seats. There are 18 of them. The 4 Democrat held (D) seats are vulnerable and we should defend them. The 14 Republican held (R) seats are up for grabs. We need to flip 6 Republican seats to win the House, but we should try to take as many Republican seats as we can.

Cook Political Report (CPR) criteria: “Competitiveness is determined by several factors, including the district's political makeup, the candidates' strengths and weaknesses, the political environment in the state and nationally, and interviews with candidates and campaign professionals.” For more info on specific seats see the CPR and Ballotopedia websites.

Importance of Early Support
Early financial support is far more impactful than last-minute donations. Funds given now allow campaigns to hire top staff before they're claimed by other races, build infrastructure, and launch voter outreach.
Strong early fundraising also signals viability: candidates who report substantial funds by the FEC's June quarterly deadline earn credibility with major donors, party committees, and the media. Recurring donations are especially valuable, giving campaigns the predictable income needed to budget and plan effectively.
And when fall arrives, advertising costs skyrocket as every campaign floods the market at once—meaning early money buys the same exposure at a fraction of the price, while late donations often arrive too late to matter. Supporting our most promising candidates now, rather than waiting until October, is simply the smartest use of your contribution
