When Democrats took back the U.S. House in 2018, it was with tons of red-to-blue flips here in California.

When the House Majority was saved in 2020, it was because we were able to fight to hold the overwhelming majority of our ultra vulnerable seats.

And when Democrats narrowed the Republican Majority to a historic low in 2024, it’s because we defied national trends by defending *all* of our vulnerable Democratic districts and flipping three U.S. House seats from red to blue.

It’s safe to say, John, that California is a Majority Maker when it comes to control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

But none of these victories happened by accident. They happened because we prepared and put the necessary infrastructure in place long before Election Day.

That’s why we are asking you to invest in our plan to take back the U.S. House in 2026 by joining our DEM2026 program and making a monthly donation today.

John, we appreciate every single donation we get no matter what.

But when you make a monthly gift, it allows us to strategize further in the future. We don’t know when people will decide to make one-time contributions, but if you donate monthly, we can plan based on that.

That means we can hire organizers sooner. Open regional offices faster. Print more literature and door-hangers.

The more monthly donations we have, the faster and bolder we can be.

Will you take a step and join our membership program by committing to a monthly contribution now? You can cancel this monthly recurrence at any time.

We get it. Committing to something monthly can be a lot. So, no pressure. We will ask periodically as we continue to plan to take back the House in 2026, but please know we appreciate you being on this team!

Sincerely,
- The full team at the California Democratic Party
