Not in a swing district? That doesn’t mean you have to stay on the sidelines.

Swing Left helps you plug into the most competitive House races where your time, energy, and dollars can make a real difference—wherever you call home.

When the moment feels heavy, the answer isn’t disengagement—it’s focus.

Step by step, action by action.

Big news out of Virginia: Democrats passed a redistricting amendment that could allow the state to redraw its congressional map and push back against GOP gerrymanders nationwide.

This is what governing power makes possible—and why electing Democrats matters

There’s no shortcut to a Democratic House majority. We have to build it—by starting early, listening deeply, and organizing where it counts.

Each of these House Republicans voted to raise health care prices for everyday Americans—and they’re all facing competitive elections this fall.

We’re laser-focused on holding them accountable and flipping their seats in the midterms.

Our 2026 resolution: Flip the House for Democrats this November.

We’ve already been laying the groundwork with Ground Truth, but now, we’re kicking things into high gear, expanding this innovative voter contact program into all of our target swing districts.

We’re not just wishing—we’re taking action.

We’re putting in the work now to rebuild the trust needed to make winning a Democratic House majority a reality in 2026.
December 23, 2025 at 5:41 PM
We’re targeting 19 Republican-held seats with credible paths to flipping—including opportunities created by new congressional maps in California.
December 11, 2025 at 1:13 AM
We’re now targeting 14 Democratic-held seats—highly competitive districts marked by tight margins.

Holding them is essential to keeping the path to a House majority open

Control of the House in 2026 will come down to a narrow set of districts. Tonight, we’re revealing our expanded House targets—and how we win them.

We’ve crunched the numbers. We’ve studied the new maps. And now we’re ready to share what it means for flipping the House.

Join our national strategy call at 8 pm ET TONIGHT for the first look at what’s changing and where your impact will matter most in 2026.

Listening—not lecturing—is the basis for connection. Like Ground Truth volunteer Valerie learned, people are willing to share their hopes and fears when they know we’re listening to understand, not just to respond with talking points.
December 8, 2025 at 1:17 PM
Swing Left volunteers are feeling the difference! As Sari M put it, Ground Truth is “a wonderfully refreshing type of canvassing.” When we start with listening, voters want to engage—and volunteers return more connected and more hopeful about the work ahead.

Flipping the House blue isn’t about wishful thinking. It’s about strategy, consistency, and showing up together.

During our "Inside Ground Truth" call, we'll walk through exactly how we do that—and share an exclusive first look at our expanded 2026 House targets.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just allowed Texas’s new gerrymandered congressional map to be used for the 2026 midterms—a map designed to give Republicans an advantage in up to 5 additional House seats before voters can weigh in.
December 4, 2025 at 11:42 PM
In Ground Truth’s early canvasses, two-thirds of people stayed to talk for 10–15 minutes—even many who don’t vote for Democrats.

Why? Because someone finally showed up to listen. Those conversations might not flip a vote tomorrow, but they rebuild trust that can reshape districts over time.
November 30, 2025 at 5:30 PM
It’s easy to think the country is too divided to talk. But when you show up with curiosity instead of a script, people open the door.

Neighbors still want to be heard. That’s where trust starts.

Organizing is an act of optimism, and we are so thankful to be among this community of optimists, especially in this moment.

Thank you for everything you do to move our country forward.

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.
November 25, 2025 at 11:59 PM
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.
November 22, 2025 at 11:31 PM
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.
November 21, 2025 at 5:15 PM
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.
