Three Overarching Goals

MVP is funding organizing and movement-building groups working toward these goals:

Goal #1: Beat Back Autocracy

Undercut authoritarianism and pull democracy back from the brink by maximizing civil resistance, defending communities under attack, and blocking the MAGA agenda.

Goal #2: Push for Policy Progress

Defeat regressive policies and push for a progressive agenda at the state and local levels through ballot measures and legislative, executive, and judicial action.

Goal #3: Win Electoral Power

End MAGA rule and set course for a new era of progress, by winning House, Senate, Presidential, and down-ballot races from 2025-2028 and beyond.

Electoral objectives

This is our chance to turn our momentum into power — and make a decisive Democratic comeback.

Flip the House

Swing for the Senate

Gain State Trifectas

Win Statewide Races

Win Ballot Initiatives

Five-Phase Election Plan

2026 is our greatest chance in recent memory to mount a massive push for historic Democratic turnout — and a safe and secure election.

Our five-phase plan takes us from voter preparation to the first day of early voting, to ensuring that every ballot is counted and certified. We are rallying and aligning local and national progressive and Democratic-aligned organizations and funders to collaboratively create, fund, and execute this critical opportunity.

State and Regional Plans

The following is a sampling of our internal set of state and regional plans. More public plans forthcoming.

North Carolina

In North Carolina, our partners are organizing to flip a U.S. Senate seat, defend a U.S. House seat, re-elect a Democratic state Supreme Court justice, and block a GOP supermajority in the state legislature.

Pennsylvania

In Pennsylvania, our partners are organizing to flip three U.S. House seats, defend the Democratic majority in the Pennsylvania House, and flip the Pennsylvania Senate to win a Democratic trifecta in the Commonwealth.

The South

The road to power and progress runs through the South — we can’t ignore it. In 2026, we have real and timely opportunities to leverage shifting demographics, win back Trump voters, and capitalize on recent electoral wins.
