Ready to make progress on the issues you care about? Let's protect democracy and build Democratic majorities together.
Thank you to @tamarakeithnpr.bsky.social and @npr.org for highlighting Ground Truth — our year-round effort to knock every door in swing districts and truly listen to what voters are experiencing, regardless of how they typically vote.

Delegate-elect @jess4va.com knocked every door she could in her VA state house district—and the day before Election Day, a conservative voter wrote her a message that they disagreed on every policy, but by showing up to listen, she had earned his vote.

Tommy Vietor admitted what a lot of folks feel: canvassing can feel awkward—showing up at a stranger’s door, not knowing how they’ll react, hoping it’s worth your time.

Ground Truth flips that experience.

“Winning power is about math, and we have to win majorities. We need to be more ruthlessly pragmatic than we ever have been.” – Yasmin Radjy, Swing Left Executive Director

This is the moment to ensure our collective action makes the biggest difference possible.

With this past election behind us, our work for 2026 kicks into high gear now.

We’re less than a year out from the midterms. Recently, Swing Left volunteers were out knocking doors in swing districts (like Iowa’s 3rd!) to win back the House.

Across swing districts, voters are telling us the same thing: the system isn’t working for them.

Ground Truth volunteers are hearing it firsthand at every door.

On Dec 9, we’re sharing what else those conversations reveal—and why they matter for flipping the House.

Ground Truth provides a new way to listen, learn, and engage voters to help Democrats win elections.

“Ground Truth helps rebuild trust in our institutions.” - Rep. @gene4va.bsky.social (VA-07)

Showing up early, listening closely, and treating every voter as worth the conversation—that’s how Democrats can win elections and build a stronger democracy.

“Upstate New York has a deep tradition of folks looking out for one another—and that’s exactly what Ground Truth is all about.”

Rep. Josh Riley (NY-19) is right & the Swing Left community is already having one-on-one conversations to connect with swing district voters and help flip the House.
November 18, 2025 at 9:45 PM
During our first Ground Truth canvass, a voter answered the door saying, “I’m a Republican—you’re not going to want to talk to me.”

Us: “Actually, you’re exactly who we want to talk to.”

Listening without lecturing and treating each other like neighbors—that’s Ground Truth.

The best insights don’t come from polls—they come from the front porch.

That’s how Rep. Derek Tran (CA-45) approaches learning from voters & it’s the spirit behind our Ground Truth program. By listening deeply across every neighborhood with Ground Truth, we gain insights no poll could provide.

We can't take our foot off the gas if we want to replicate this year’s Election Day wins at scale in the '26 midterms.

That’s why we’re expanding Ground Truth to swing districts nationwide—our most ambitious program ever to transform how Democrats connect with voters, rebuild trust & win elections.

BREAKING: We’re expanding Ground Truth nationwide—an innovative initiative to transform how Democrats connect with voters.

It’s how we rebuild trust & win in 2026 & beyond. We’re starting earlier, knocking every door in swing districts, & gathering rich data we’re sharing directly with campaigns.

We can’t expect a blue wave to happen on its own—we’ve got to make it happen. That starts with listening to voters now, not next fall.

If last week’s elections taught us anything, it’s that Democrats who want to flip the House in 2026 need to listen to, understand, and tailor outreach to meet communities’ specific, local needs.

Elections have consequences.

With Democrats in power, the Virginia General Assembly can move forward with its redistricting plan and undo some of the damage done by Trump and Republicans’ attempts to lock in a permanent right-wing majority.
Five Ways Tuesday’s Results Will Affect Voting Rules and Democracy
From felony disenfranchisement and mail voting to mid-decade gerrymanders, Tuesday delivered verdicts on election law across these five states.

A government shutdown like this one is not only unprecedented, but unnecessary.

We need to reopen the government, we need Republicans to come back to work, and we need to flip the House for Democrats in 2026 to avoid another record-breaking shutdown.
November 9, 2025 at 5:30 PM
We have reached the 38th day of the government shutdown.

38 days seems like plenty of time for Republicans to remember their obligation to the American people and get back to work.

In 2026, we’ll flip the House and ensure this doesn’t happen again.
