If it scares or concerns you that a white nationalist is the current speaker of the House, imagine how dangerous Mike Johnson will become if Donald Trump wins the presidency—which, if the election were today, is more likely than not.^1,2

So much of the focus around the upcoming election is on the top of the ticket—and it makes sense because the stakes are so very high—but MAGA Republicans could sweep the House, Senate, and presidency. They already control the Supreme Court. Then we'd really be in trouble.

Roll Call reported this week: "In the shadow of the presidential race sit two competitive fights for the Senate and the House, and the latest race rating changes give Republicans a more straightforward path to sweeping control of both chambers."³

John, we absolutely cannot allow MAGA Republicans to control all branches of the federal government. That's why MoveOn's election work has focused on key House and Senate races as well as the presidency. And today we want to ask you for your help supporting four strong progressive House candidates locked in very tight races.

Democrats need a net gain of four seats to end MAGA control of the House. And these four races are critical. We'll get into the details below but first want to ask:

Will you donate to MoveOn's election program and these four critical races? Your donation will be split between MoveOn and the campaigns of progressive Democrats Kirsten Engel (AZ-06), Dr. Yadira Caraveo (CO-08), Tony Vargas (NE-02), and Josh Riley (NY-19).

All four of the Democratic candidates are strong progressives, and MoveOn members in their districts overwhelmingly endorsed them. Two of the races (CO-8 and NE-2) are considered "toss-ups," and two are considered "lean Republican" (AZ-06 and NY-19).⁴

Kirsten Engel (AZ-06) is an environmental lawyer and co-directs University of Arizona's Environmental Law Program. As a state legislator, Engel fought against education cuts, worked for criminal justice reform, and advocated for voting rights and abortion rights. She's running for Congress to fight for quality education, clean energy, and democratic rights.⁵ This district also is critical for Vice President Harris.

Dr. Yadira Caraveo (CO-08), a pediatrician, legislator, and advocate for middle- and working-class families, was inspired by her parents' dream of a better life. Her parents emigrated from Mexico to Colorado, where they raised their four children with strong values of hard work and community. As a state legislator, Dr. Caraveo quickly gained a reputation for taking on tough fights, such as passing legislation to cap insulin prices and protect renters. Now in Congress, she's been fighting for Colorado families on health care, housing, climate change, reproductive freedom, and more.⁶

Tony Vargas (NE-02) is a former public school teacher who won "Most Outstanding Teacher" and "Teacher of the Year." As a state senator, he's passed legislation to strengthen public schools, improve health care access, and enhance consumer protections. Vargas is running for Congress to improve education, health care, and economic opportunities for all.⁷ This district also is critical for Vice President Harris.

Josh Riley (NY-19) comes from a working-class family with deep roots in local factories, and his upbringing in a resilient community shaped his values of hard work and perseverance. His vision includes strengthening the middle class, protecting Medicare and Social Security, addressing climate change, ensuring community safety, and defending democracy.⁸

Will you help these four progressive Democrats in their campaigns to defeat MAGA Republicans? Together, we can take the gavel from Mike Johnson and prevent a terrifying MAGA sweep of our government. Your donation will be split between these four Democratic candidates and MoveOn's proven election program.

Want to support MoveOn? The MAGA right is declaring war, and Project 2025 is their battle plan. Project 2025 threatens our rights, attacks communities of color, hurts middle- and working-class families, and undermines our democracy. But we will not back down or let Trump steamroll our nation.

Will you donate to power MoveOn's election plan, stop Trump, and ensure Project 2025 is never enacted?
