OUR MIDTERM STRATEGY


It’s time to hold the Congressional Republicans who have enabled Trump’s policies accountable. The best way to do this is by winning a Democratic majority in at least one chamber in Congress this November.

Take Back the Senate

Get in, We’re Taking Back Congress

Welcome to VSA’s campaign to flip the House and take back the Senate.

Right now, Democrats need only a handful of seats to reclaim the majority in the House. There is a genuinely viable path to taking the Senate back, too!

We’re prioritizing Congressional races that:

  • Are in states or areas with other competitive races at the top or down the ballot, so our efforts have a bigger overall impact
  • Have Republican incumbents who haven’t faced strong competition before
  • Are truly winnable, whether they were very close last cycle or are in places that are typically more conservative
  • Reflect new redistricting realities across the country
  • Are places where VSA community members like you are likely to live or know people who live there

We tailor our support to make the biggest difference in each race, using a mix of funding, volunteers, and storytelling. We want YOU to join us!

Flip The House

We’re going on offense! We’re focused on flipping Republican-held districts, from the most competitive to districts Democrats normally write off, and protecting key Democratic incumbents. We’re going to help secure a majority (a big one!), even with Republican interference.

Take Back the Senate

Yes, the Senate is in play–but we’re going to have to fight like hell. That means defending Democratic-held seats that risk going to Republican challengers and mobilizing voters for increasingly narrow races where Republicans are losing ground.
