When I flipped a Republican seat as part of a blue wave in 2018, I was told you couldn’t win in a red district by rejecting corporate money and fighting for working families—but our campaign proved them wrong.
On Election Day, we saw more candidates than ever run on that exact same message and win.
Democratic candidates across the country proved that when you reject the corrupting influence of corporate money and fight unapologetically for everyday people, voters will have your back.
People know it’s Donald Trump’s tariffs and budgets that drove up prices on nearly everything. They also haven’t forgotten that it was politicians bought off by corporate PACs who voted for those policies. When they had the opportunity to vote for candidates who will actually stand up to that corruption, they made their voices heard.
The result was one of the most successful elections for Democrats in a generation.
In the House, we took back the majority with at least 254 seats—with several races still too close to call. We flipped districts in California, Iowa, New York, and many places in between.
In the Senate, Democrats now hold a decisive majority with room to grow even more once the race in Alaska is called. Not only did we finally defeat Susan Collins, but we flipped seats in Mississippi, South Carolina, North Carolina, Texas, Ohio, Kansas, and Iowa, while holding the line in Georgia and Michigan.
The path forward is clear: run more candidates who will fight for working families. That’s the only way we will keep expanding the map, take back the presidency, and finally deliver the wins that everyday people need.
2028 might feel far away, but that work starts right now. We are already laying out our plans to protect our majorities and keep winning, and we need to know you stand with us.
Can you chip in $5 today to help us keep our work going into the next election cycle?
Thank you,
Katie Porter
