Hey John,
Rep. Jerry Nadler. Sen. Gary Peters. Rep. Lloyd Doggett. Rep. Jan Schakowsky. Sen. Joni Ernst. These are just five of the over 40 lawmakers who are announcing they won’t run for reelection in 2026.
That number is historic, and it's likely to get even larger. With so many lawmakers retiring, the 2026 elections are not only about taking back the House and Senate; they’re about who even gets to run.
The establishment wants DC insiders who will keep the same old system alive, serving corporate donors instead of the people. We want something different. We want candidates who will fight for us — for a livable future, for our communities to be safe from ICE, for jobs that pay the bills and build a stable life.
We have a year until the general election, but only 4 months until the primaries begin. That means the fight starts now.
The establishment has money. But we have people power. We have students organizing on college campuses, young people taking to the streets, and a movement ready to win.
In just a few weeks, we’ll launch our first primary endorsements for 2026. That means we need your support now to:
Can you chip in $26 today to help us get these candidates off the ground and start the fight strong?
The establishment wants to keep things the same. We’re not letting that happen. The next generation of leaders will fight for us — and we’re going to make sure of it.
