Happy New Year!
2026 is officially here and the midterm election is just around the corner. This year we’re targeting 33 swing districts across 17 states, including 14 must-hold Democratic seats and 19 Republican-held seats we need to flip.
Central to our efforts to flip the House will be Ground Truth, Swing Left’s innovative people-powered canvassing program that aims to start early, knock every door in swing districts, and listen deeply to understand what voters truly care about.
And we’re excited to announce that the first Ground Truth canvasses of 2026 will begin in swing districts later this month!
So far we’ve found that voters are incredibly eager to talk, with 2 out of 3 people who answered their doors having substantive conversations that often lasted more than 10 minutes. And we learned that 1 in 4 voters coded as Republican actually expressed either explicit concern about Trump, openness to voting for Democrats, or alignment with progressive priorities. They could be persuadable voters, but they need to be heard first!
That’s why we’re not wasting any time before getting started. And whether you love knocking doors, want to try something new, or are just ready to do work that actually moves the needle, there’s a way for you to get involved.
If you’re ready to help flip the House to Democrats this year, take a moment to fill out this form and learn the best way for you to volunteer with Ground Truth. It will guide you to the best option for you, based on where you live and what you like to do.
This year we have a real opportunity to change the way Democrats do voter contact to win the House and put a real legislative check on Donald Trump’s agenda. We’re excited about the work ahead, and we hope to see you on the doors!
