Our Winning The House Campaigns - The Original Twelve And Now The Second And Third Waves Too
8/14/26 - For many months now we’ve been supporting twelve intrepid candidates working to flip Republican held House seats blue in 2026, and reclaim the US House for us this year. These twelve are among the very best pick-up opportunities we have this cycle, and simply, if all twelve of these candidates win - despite the GOP’s efforts to illicitly rig the election - we will regain control of the House in 2027. It’s that simple.
Head here to meet their counterparts running to take the Senate away from Republicans.
A single ActBlue site allows you to give all twelve candidates with a donation split evenly among them. Or you can support each candidate individually by following the links below.
So far we’ve raised more than $1.7m for swing district House candidates this cycle, and $4m overall in the last two + years. Thanks to everyone here who has been part of this of incredibly important campaign.
We’ve added 12 more candidates to our initial, intrepid 12 - Rebecca Bennett (NJ-07), Bob Brooks (PA-07), Cait Conley (NY-17), Johnny Garcia (TX-35), Bob Harvie (PA-01), Dr. Richard Pan (CA-06), Denise Powell (NE-02), Bobby Pulido (TX-15), Manny Rutinel (CO-08), Dr. Amish Shah (AZ-01), Randy Villegas (CA-22), and Marni von Wilpert (CA-48). We’ve created a second fund for this next round of endorsed candidates, which we are calling our Winning The House - Second Wave Fund. Many of these in our Second Wave have come through competitive primaries, and while battle-tested, are starting the general election with far fewer resources than the initial twelve.
And, now 6 more candidates - Winning The House - The Third Wave Fund - Donate | $8,700 raised, $500,000 goal | We’ve launched this new fund for candidates who have emerged even later from primaries and need a bit more help as we work to expand our map and go deeper into tough terrain. Our initial list - and it may grow - is Christina Hines (MI-10), Lindsay James (IA-02), Jake Johnson (MN-01), Jessica Killin (CO-05), Nancy Lacore (SC-01), and Brian Poindexter (OH-07).

Many in our community may remember that in the 2024 cycle we raised almost $2.3m for House challengers, an enormous sum in these highly competitive races, and won 7 of the 16 races we targeted. It was a significant achievement by this community of generous, proud, and plucky patriots in a tough year at the top of the ticket.
While we are still raising money for what we call The Hopium House 7 - those newly elected House members whom we supported in 2024 - our emphasis here has always been on supporting open seat and challengers races and winning in red states and red places - the hard stuff - where our money and volunteer time can make the biggest difference.
Excited for this campaign and hope you will become a supporter (see my Nov. 2025 memo on why early money and support matters so much).
Keep working hard everyone!
We have a country to save and a Congress to flip! - Simon
