Winning the Senate

in 2026, the race to win the Senate will come down to voter turnout in eight races. Volunteer turnout equals voter turnout.

WHAT WE NEED TO DO: Dems currently hold 47 seats with three considered vulnerable: Georgia, New Hampshire and Michigan. Republicans hold 53 seats but the blue wave has made six vulnerable. To win we need to hold those three seats and flip at least four Republican seats. With the current blue wave of enthusiasm and Democratic +10 pt overperformances in recent statewide elections, the Senate is in reach. Even adding a few seats would increase our chances of taking control in 2028.

OPTIONS FOR WHERE TO WORK: To distribute volunteers across the races, working in the state closest to you is best. If there isn’t a race close to you, we invite you to work with us. We will rotate rotate through all the campaigns over the course of 2026.
Battleground Senate states: AK, GA, IA, ME, MI, NC, NH, OH, TX
