John,

By this time next month, your Congressmember — and 434 others — will have been sworn in.

Will they stand up to corporate lobbies, billionaire CEOs, and MAGA fascism? Or is it time for your community to nominate a real fighter to represent their interests?

Justice Democrats is looking for the next slate of working-class candidates to run for Congress and challenge out-of-touch Democratic incumbents in the 2026 election cycle.

Know someone who would make a great representative of your community in Congress? Nominate them to run with Justice Democrats’ support now →

While the Democratic establishment looks for those who can afford to run for office, we look for local leaders supported and trusted by their own communities.

As we identify blue districts with out-of-touch, corporate Democrats to mount primary challenges against, we’re looking for people who are:

• Doing important work in their community;
• Trusted and highly-networked, whose voice and opinions impact a larger group of people;
• Doing critical grassroots organizing or advocacy on issues impacting tokenized and typically ignored communities.

Do you know anyone who fits the bill? Nominate them here!

Submit Your Nomination

If we’re going to build the bloc and send more working-class progressives to Congress, there’s no time to waste — our work must start now.

Thanks for helping us find and support the leaders we deserve.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
