Hi John,
It’s been a busy few months. Swing Left volunteers have been working hard
all across the country to help flip the House next year and win important
elections happening this year. Here’s a recap of what we’ve been up to:
🗳️ In California, Swing Left volunteers have donated, knocked on doors,
made calls, and sent letters in support of Proposition 50. Also known as
the Election Rigging Response Act, if passed, this ballot measure would
temporarily redraw the state’s congressional maps ahead of the 2026
election to help offset gerrymandered maps passed by Republicans in states
like Texas, Missouri, and North Carolina—and the outcome could affect
whether Democrats flip the House.

🗳️ In Virginia, Swing Left volunteers have been working on electing
Democrats in eight competitive state house races, and also the races for
governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general. Dedicated Swing Left
volunteers have been speaking directly with voters and donating to support
these high-impact races that could swing the balance of power in Virginia.

Turning out voters in this election is especially important because
Virginia Democrats are moving forward with plans to redraw the state’s
congressional maps. This effort could counter Republican gerrymanders in
states like Texas, Missouri, and North Carolina—but to make it happen,
Democrats in the legislature will have to pass a constitutional amendment
in back-to-back legislative sessions, which means keeping a Democratic
majority in the House is critical.
🗳️ Nationally, we’ve also identified 22 competitive swing districts across
the country—places where Democrats need to defend hard-won seats and flip
Republican-held ones to take back the House in 2026. Our strategy is
focused on ensuring every hour of volunteer time and every dollar donated
by grassroots supporters like you goes exactly where it will make the
greatest impact.
🗳️ As part of our work to flip the House to Democrats, we’ve also been
piloting our new Ground Truth initiative. This new, long-term effort will
define Swing Left’s work from now through 2026. Ground Truth is
reimagining door knocking by starting earlier, knocking every door, and
focusing on listening—not lecturing—to understand the real-life concerns
of voters.
By analyzing and sharing those insights directly with Democratic campaigns
in swing districts, we can strengthen their messaging, targeting, and
outreach strategies to help them win. And every dollar donated to Swing
Left helps power this innovative deep organizing work.

districts last weekend—Oregon’s 5th district and Arizona’s 1st district.
From California to Virginia and all 22 of our target House races, Swing
Left is laying the groundwork now to protect our democracy and flip the
House in 2026. But we can only do it with your support.
