John, we just unveiled Democrats’ official target map for Secretary of State races in the coming midterm.

This election cycle represents a critical battle for our democracy, with 26 Secretary of State positions on the ballot nationwide. As a reminder, the vast majority of these state-level officials serve as the chief election officers who will oversee the 2028 presidential elections.

The election-denying MAGA right is plotting to place their allies in these positions. Here’s where we’re focusing our efforts to fight back:

2026 DASS Targets
Michigan Battleground Open Seat (hold)
Arizona Battleground Dem. Incumbent (hold)
Nevada Battleground Dem. Incumbent (hold)
Wisconsin Battleground Dem. Incumbent (hold)
Georgia Flip Opportunity Rep. Incumbent (flip)

Minnesota Defend and Maintain Vigilance Dem. Incumbent (hold)
New Mexico Defend and Maintain Vigilance Dem. Incumbent (hold)

With your support, Democratic Secretaries won EVERY targeted race in 2024, and we often outperformed other statewide Democrats on the ballot dating as far back as 2022.

This is the most aggressive battlefield and operation in DASS history. It’s a crucial opportunity to ensure that election integrity remains in trusted hands. That work starts NOW -- and we cannot do this without your support:
