These swing-district Republicans may represent some of the most flippable seats in Congress—but they vote with Trump 100% of the time.

That’s why we’re already working to replace them with Democrats in 2026—and every action we take between now and then will help decide control of Congress.

Graphic with the headline “These Republicans Vote With Trump 100% Of The Time” in bold white and red text on a black background. Below are ten black-and-white headshots in red circles, each labeled with a name and congressional district: Juan Ciscomani (AZ-06), Nick Begich (AK-AL), Gabe Evans (CO-08), Rob Bresnahan (PA-08), Tom Barrett (MI-07), Mike Lawler (NY-17), Zach Nunn (IA-03), Jen Kiggans (VA-02), Derrick Van Orden (WI-03), and Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-01).

Republicans may have the power to shut down the government, but we have the power to vote them out of office and flip the House back to Democrats next year.

And that’s exactly what we’re going to do.

GOP Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks said she’ll hold a public town hall “when hell freezes over.” And she’s kept her word by icing out Iowans all year.

IA-01 is one of the most competitive districts in the country. Let’s flip it in 2026 and elect a Democrat who actually listens.

Graphic from Swing Left criticizing GOP Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks for not holding town halls in 2025. The image includes a black-and-white photo of Miller-Meeks looking serious, with text above her that reads: “GOP Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks on when she’ll hold a town hall: ‘When hell freezes over.’ Despite pledging to hold in-person town halls, she hasn’t held a single one in 2025.” The design uses red, white, and yellow text on a dark background.

This past weekend, volunteers joined Ground Truth canvasses in swing House districts. From NY to OR, we hit the doors!

We’re having conversations with voters, learning what’s on their minds & identifying key issues in each community to help Democrats flip the House next year.

Take it from Violet, one of our Organizing Program Managers—knocking every door is the best way to get out of our own bubble & understand what voters are really thinking.

That’s what our Ground Truth program is all about: listening, learning & turning what we hear into action to help Democrats win.

Yale College Democrats aren’t waiting for 2026—they’re already out knocking doors in Virginia and in New York’s 17th district with Swing Left, talking to voters about what’s at stake in 2025 and beyond.

With their help—and yours—we’ll flip the House for Democrats in 2026.

College Democrats focused on voter advocacy to counter Trump

Yale College Democrats traveled to Washington, D.C. and Virginia over the weekend, part of renewed advocacy and canvassing efforts after Kamala Harris’ election loss caused a morale drop last year.

Republicans barely won the House in 2024. And this reckless shutdown is hurting their chances of winning in 2026.

Together, we can flip the House blue and put power back in the hands of people who will put their communities first.

In 2025, we’ll seize critical opportunities and:

In 2026, we’ll build on that momentum and:

✔️Flip the House for Democrats.
✔️Hold Trump accountable.

Democrats lost the House by fewer than 8,000 votes in 2024.

In 2026—thanks to the work of thousands of volunteers who are already knocking doors and making calls—we’ll close that gap and flip it back to blue.

31 days until Election Day. 2 big fights: We’re working to pass CA’s redistricting ballot initiative, Prop 50, and win a Democratic trifecta in VA.

Both help pave the way to flipping the House in 2026.

Republicans have shown us time and time again that they don't care about the real-world impact of their actions on everyday Americans.

Yet another reason why flipping the House for Democrats next November is so critical.

With Republicans controlling the White House, House, and Senate, Democrats’ leverage to fight back against this government shutdown is limited.
