Plan to Flip the Senate

Goal: Flip the Senate in '26 and hold the majority in '28.

Flipping the Senate would help us block Trump’s agenda in big ways, including judicial (and possibly Supreme Court) appointments. And, each seat we win in 2026 brings us closer to a trifecta in 2028.

The earlier we secure funding, the further we can expand the map and seize opportunities as they emerge, supporting our local and state partners to staff up, scale up, and level up their operations.
