    RC

    Roy Cooper

    NC-Sen
    NC

    Roy Cooper served as governor of North Carolina from 2017-2025, winning both of his elections while Donald Trump carried the state. He is running to replace outgoing Republican senator Thom Tillis in a must-win race for Democrats seeking senate control.

    MP

    Mary Peltola

    AK-Sen
    AK

    Mary Peltola represented Alaska’s at-large Congressional district from 2022-2025, winning two competitive elections in a very red state. Running on the motto, “Fish, Family, Freedom,” Peltola seeks to unseat incumbent Republican senator Dan Sullivan - and current polling has her ahead.

    JO

    Jon Ossoff

    GA-Sen
    GA

    Jon Ossoff has served as the senior United States senator from Georgia since 2021, and is running for re-election. While Republicans have not yet selected a challenger, Ossoff’s seat is a must-hold for Democrats hoping to win Senate control.

    JM

    Jared Moskowitz

    FL-25
    FL

    Jared Moskowitz currently serves as the representative to Congress for Florida’s 23rd district, but is being redistricted by Governor DeSantis and state Republicans into the 25th. His new district has a red tilt, and Moskowitz will need all the help he can get to win.

    SL

    Susie Lee

    NV-3
    NV

    Susie Lee has represented Nevada’s 3rd Congressional district, a key swing district, since 2019. Representative Lee has a reputation for moderation, and for winning tough races.

    JR

    Josh Riley

    NY-19
    NY

    Josh Riley won a tough race against incumbent Congressman Mike Molinaro in 2024, one of the few bright spots for Democrats on a generally bad night. Riley’s reputation for effective leadership and working across the aisle should bring him over the finish line in this competitive district.

    GL

    Greg Landsman

    OH-1
    OH

    Greg Landsman assumed office in 2023, after defeating 13-term incumbent Republican Representative Steve Chabot in 2022. While Ohio’s 2025 Republican gerrymandering has made Landman’s district more red, Landsman’s reputation for bipartisanship keeps him in contention in the race.

    ES

    Emilia Sykes

    OH-13
    OH

    Emilia Sykes has served in Congress since 2023, and won reelection in her competitive district in 2024. Sykes is a member of the Problem Solvers Caucus, and has worked across the aisle to bring home key wins for her district.

    JS

    Janelle Stelson

    PA-10
    PA

    Janelle Stelson is running to unseat incumbent Republican representative Scott Perry, who lobbied to overturn the 2020 Presidential election, in Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District. Stelson, a former news anchor, lost by a mere 5,000 votes in 2024, and has a very real opportunity to close that gap this year.
