If Democrats want to win in 2026 and beyond, they should follow our lead.
Blue Dogs like Jared Golden and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez have given us a roadmap on how to win rural districts like ours. It’s simple: by putting their constituents first (not party politics) and fighting on behalf of working-class families (not alienating them).
Blue Dogs know how to win in tough districts. It’s not about scoring political points, it’s about showing voters that we actually care about working families and will fight for them.
The path to the House majority runs through districts like ours. If we want to take back the Speaker’s gavel, it’s going to require candidates that truly represent working people and can speak to the issues that matter around the kitchen table.
Blue Dogs are normal people in Congress who want to get sh*t done. We believe in freedom and we’re fighting to protect yours. We’re pro-America, pro-democracy, and working to pass fiscally responsible policies that benefit everyday, hard-working Americans.
