I wanted to make sure you saw this headline, John, and then I’ll provide some context:

Politico: Democrats look to make a play for GOP turf with surge of new candidates

As a recruitment co-chair at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, I’m proud to be playing a big role in helping chart the way forward for Dems in the House.

The recent special elections in Wisconsin and Florida prove that Americans of all political stripes are fed up with Trump’s trade war and Elon Musk hijacking the federal government.

These victories show that we’ve got momentum on our side, and we’re ready to compete and flip seats in red districts across the country.

That means if you’re in a Trump +15 district, we’re not afraid to make a push there to boost strong Democratic candidates. That’s why we announced 35 districts in play for 2026!

Flipping the House is one of the most important things we can do to combat Trump, Musk, and their MAGA agenda, and I’m excited about the roster of Democrats that we’re recruiting to help make that a reality.

But we can’t fool ourselves, John — Mike Johnson and the GOP are hellbent on holding the House, and they’ve got Musk’s fortune backing them.

But if we can flip enough seats, the sky’s the limit. Will you please chip in $25 to hold this district and give Democrats our best possible shot at retaking the House in 2026?

Thanks,

Morgan McGarvey
