Amish Shah is an emergency room physician who is committed to serving his community. When he’s not picking up shifts in the ER, Amish is knocking on tens of thousands of doors in Arizona’s First Congressional District to hear directly from voters about what matters most to them. Amish understands that costs are squeezing families, and as a physician himself he’s seen the devastating impact of D.C. Republicans’ cuts to health care up close. He’s ready to go to Congress to improve Arizonans’ health care, lower costs, and fight for families. A former State Representative who’s already represented parts of AZ-01 in the State House, Amish is known as an independent voice who puts Arizona families before party politics. With a track record of rejecting partisan extremism, Amish is focused on getting things done for Arizona families.
Jonathan Nez

Former Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez was born and raised in Northern Arizona and has spent his life putting people before politics. Growing up on his family’s ranch without running water or electricity, Jonathan learned the values of hard work, responsibility, and community. He brought those lessons with him as President of the Navajo Nation, where he worked with his Republican Vice President to get things done for rural Arizona. Jonathan is running for Congress to give rural Arizonans a real seat at the table, cut through the noise, and deliver real results — not play party politics. As the 2024 Democratic nominee, Jonathan significantly overperformed statewide Democratic candidates — at the same time Republican Eli Crane significantly underperformed the top of the ticket.
JoAnna Mendoza
AZ-06
JoAnna “Jo” Mendoza is a Marine Corps veteran, single mom, and battle-tested Arizonan born and raised in Pinal County. The daughter of farmworkers, Jo enlisted in the U.S. military at 17 and [...]
JoAnna “Jo” Mendoza is a Marine Corps veteran, single mom, and battle-tested Arizonan born and raised in Pinal County. The daughter of farmworkers, Jo enlisted in the U.S. military at 17 and served our country for 20 years, both in the Navy and the Marine Corps. A retired Marine Corps drill instructor, Jo is the mission-focused leader Arizonans need in Congress to lower costs for families, create good-paying jobs, and keep communities safe. Jo is running to serve Arizona’s Sixth Congressional District because she’s sick and tired of rubberstamp politicians like Juan Ciscomani who say what they think Arizonans want to hear, then vote however their party bosses tell them to. Unlike Ciscomani, Jo will always put Arizonans first.
Dr. Richard Pan

Dr. Richard Pan is a pediatrician, educator, and former State Legislator who has spent his career fighting for the health and safety of California families. He’s taken on some of the state’s [...]
Dr. Richard Pan is a pediatrician, educator, and former State Legislator who has spent his career fighting for the health and safety of California families. He’s taken on some of the state’s toughest challenges — expanding access to affordable health care, lowering prescription drug costs, protecting children during public health crises, and supporting first responders and public safety. A proven fighter, Dr. Pan stood up to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and anti-vaccine extremists’ attacks to protect children and public health, and he will take on those same powerful interests in Washington. In a district made bluer by Proposition 50, Dr. Pan is uniquely positioned to take the case to “MAGA champion” Kevin Kiley, as he tries to hide his extreme record from voters. While Kiley chases political opportunism, Dr. Pan is focused on delivering results for Sacramento families.
Randy Villegas
CA-22
The son of Mexican immigrants, Randy Villegas is a Central Valley native, auto repair shop owner, and educator who has spent his life fighting for his community. He attended Bakersfield public [...]
The son of Mexican immigrants, Randy Villegas is a Central Valley native, auto repair shop owner, and educator who has spent his life fighting for his community. He attended Bakersfield public schools and grew up in a working-class family that relied on Medi-Cal and WIC to make ends meet – the same programs now under threat because of David Valadao’s votes to gut health care and SNAP. Through hard work and education, Randy worked his way out of poverty and went on to serve students and families on his local school board. Randy is a working-class leader fighting to ensure Valley families have the representation they deserve – someone who will work to lower costs, increase access to affordable health care and medicine, and ensure government works for working people, not special interests and billionaires. In this increasingly competitive Trump +2 seat, Valadao has made himself more vulnerable by turning his back on the Valley, gutting the very health care programs Randy grew up on, and putting party politics ahead of his constituents.
Marni von Wilpert
CA-48
Marni von Wilpert is a public servant, former prosecutor, and San Diego City Councilmember who has spent her career taking on powerful interests and winning for working people. The daughter of a [...]
Marni von Wilpert is a public servant, former prosecutor, and San Diego City Councilmember who has spent her career taking on powerful interests and winning for working people. The daughter of a U.S. Army veteran, Marni served in the Peace Corps during the AIDS epidemic, went on to found a legal clinic to combat discrimination, and later helped write the PRO Act to strengthen workers’ rights. As a Deputy City Attorney and civil prosecutor, she took on opioid manufacturers and price-gouging corporations ripping off consumers. And after flipping one of San Diego’s most conservative council seats, Marni proved she can build the broad coalition needed to win tough races and deliver results on affordability and public safety. After Proposition 50, this newly competitive district is central to regaining the House majority. Marni is exactly the kind of fighter needed to beat MAGA extremist Jim Desmond, who has done nothing but dismiss rising costs and embrace the worst of Donald Trump and Republicans’ agenda that is increasingly out of step with CA-48 voters.
Jessica Killin
CO-05
Jessica Killin is a fourth-generation Coloradan, U.S. Army veteran, and devoted mom who has consistently proven her deep commitment to her state and country. The daughter of public school [...]
Jessica Killin is a fourth-generation Coloradan, U.S. Army veteran, and devoted mom who has consistently proven her deep commitment to her state and country. The daughter of public school educators, Jessica was raised in Colorado Springs and grew up understanding the value of public service. After earning a ROTC scholarship, Jessica served as a Captain and paratrooper in the U.S. Army, leading soldiers overseas as a military police officer. Following her military service, Jessica spent more than a decade advocating for military families. Jessica knows exactly why Washington isn’t working for Southern Colorado, and she’s running for Congress to be an independent voice to lower costs for families, support our veterans, and restore fiscal responsibility. Jessica is the no-nonsense leader Coloradans deserve to flip CO-05 — the most Democratic-trending congressional district in the nation.
Manny Rutinel
CO-08
Manny Rutinel understands the challenges working Coloradans are facing. As a teen, Manny worked at McDonald’s, tutored kids, and even sold his blood plasma to help pay the bills after the bank [...]
Manny Rutinel understands the challenges working Coloradans are facing. As a teen, Manny worked at McDonald’s, tutored kids, and even sold his blood plasma to help pay the bills after the bank foreclosed on his family home. And after putting himself through college, Manny joined the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and went on to graduate from Yale Law School. Manny is running for Congress to fight for working families, create good jobs, and improve Coloradans’ health care. The son of a single mom who immigrated from Latin America, Manny’s powerful story resonates with CO-08, an R+0, working class, 40% Latino district that is souring on Gabe Evans and Donald Trump.
Bale Dalton

Bale Dalton has spent his life in service to Florida and the United States. Bale served 24 years in the U.S. Navy and Navy Reserve as a Naval Aviator, including 13 years on active duty, and commanded the Navy’s special operations support helicopter squadron. He previously advocated for Florida’s military families and bases as military legislative assistant to Bill Nelson in the U.S. Senate, and most recently served as Chief of Staff at NASA. Now, Bale is ready to lead in Congress to help Central Floridians get ahead. As Cory Mills’ record of lies, scandals, and corruption grows, Bale’s undeniable record of always putting service over self makes him the exact kind of candidate that can flip this seat from red to blue this November.
Pia Dandiya
FL-22

Born and raised in Palm Beach County, Pia Dandiya started her career as a teacher and high school principal. She went on to lead public sector initiatives in technology, working to advance bold solutions in education, health care, and state government. She lives in Palm Beach County with her husband and son, where her son attends the same school Pia’s mother founded over thirty years ago. A working mother who wants to write a new future, Pia is determined to make the American dream more accessible to South Floridians by addressing the affordability crisis, protecting essential programs like Social Security and Medicare, and holding Republicans accountable for their broken promises. Pia is ready to bring her proven record of leadership, her conviction in the power of our democracy, and her commitment to putting the American people first to Washington.
Christina Bohannan

Christina Bohannan grew up living in a trailer in a rural small town. She understands the struggles Iowa families face firsthand: when her construction worker dad got sick and his insurance was canceled, her family was forced to choose between paying for his medicine and paying for everything else. A mom, law professor, and former engineer, Christina is running for Congress because she believes we need less partisan infighting and more common sense solutions that put Iowans first. While Mariannette Miller-Meeks is in the pocket of the special interests, Christina will take them on and put families first to protect Iowans’ health care, grow the rural economy, and get costs down. In 2024, Christina came just 799 votes away from flipping this Trump +8 seat and this year, she will finish the job to defeat Miller-Meeks and bring real representation to Southeast Iowa.
Lindsay James
IA-02
Lindsay James is a public-school mom, former chaplain, Presbyterian minister, and Iowa state representative whose faith drives her to take on a broken system. Whether it’s fighting back against [...]
Lindsay James is a public-school mom, former chaplain, Presbyterian minister, and Iowa state representative whose faith drives her to take on a broken system. Whether it’s fighting back against predatory corporate landlords, standing with workers screwed by corporations shipping jobs overseas, or working to lower the cost of lifesaving medication, Lindsay puts people before the powerful. This open seat race is a contrast between lobbyist, career politician, carpetbagger, and revolving door insider Joe Mitchell — versus a fighter for Northeast Iowa who will take on the corrupt system that Mitchell represents. A proven electoral overperformer with a message that resonates with Iowans failed by a broken Washington, Lindsay will flip this seat.
Sarah Trone Garriott
IA-03
Sarah Trone Garriott is a mom and a Lutheran minister who has spent her life serving her community — as a hospital chaplain, a pastor, a leader at the Des Moines Area Religious Council Food Pantry [...]
Sarah Trone Garriott is a mom and a Lutheran minister who has spent her life serving her community — as a hospital chaplain, a pastor, a leader at the Des Moines Area Religious Council Food Pantry Network, and now a State Senator. Sarah successfully flipped a Republican-held seat in the Iowa State Senate in 2020; then she took on the Republican State Senate president in 2022 and won before going on to defend her Trump-won seat again in 2024. Sarah has always stood up for hardworking Iowans and will fight to lower costs, protect health care, and make life more affordable for families like hers. While Zach Nunn works for his party bosses and special interests, Sarah works for Iowa.
Sean McCann

Born and raised in Michigan where he is now raising his family, Sean McCann has dedicated his career to giving back to his community: as a nonprofit leader, State Representative, and now a State Senator after flipping a Republican-held seat. For Sean, public service is about problem solving and helping Michigan families achieve the American dream. Sean worked across the aisle to pass bipartisan Medicaid expansion and delivered the largest tax cut in Michigan history. Bill Huizenga has gotten rich in Congress while siding with his billionaire backers over Michigan families but Sean has never forgotten who he works for. In a district that voted for Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, Sean is the exact kind of leader to cut through the chaos and get results for Southwest Michigan.
Christina Hines
MI-10
With deep roots in Macomb County, Christina Hines is running for Congress to fight for the community that raised her. As chief prosecutor for the special victims unit, Christina took on violent [...]
With deep roots in Macomb County, Christina Hines is running for Congress to fight for the community that raised her. As chief prosecutor for the special victims unit, Christina took on violent criminals and predators to keep children safe. Now as a mom raising her three kids in her hometown of Warren, Christina understands the struggles families are experiencing because her working class family lives them, too. Christina will fight tooth and nail to lower the cost of living, protect families and keep them safe, stand up to corruption, and bring a new generation of leadership to Washington. In an open seat race decided by just 1,600 votes in the last midterm election, Christina will flip the 10th District blue and be the fighter that Michigan deserves.
Jake Johnson

The son of a garbage collector and a meter reader, Jake Johnson and his ten siblings grew up in a working class family that worked hard to achieve the American dream while relying on Medicaid and SNAP. Now a public school math teacher and leader in his union, Jake is running for Congress because Southern Minnesota is struggling — and D.C. swamp creature Brad Finstad is making things worse for families like the one he grew up in. Jake will work to bring down costs, tackle corruption, go after wasteful spending and misuse of taxpayer dollars, and invest in Minnesota’s small towns. While Finstad prioritizes special interests and refuses to show up for Minnesotans, Jake will put families and farmers first. In this district won three times by Amy Klobuchar, Jake is the candidate who will flip this seat and bring change to Southern Minnesota.
Sam Forstag

Sam Forstag is a working Montanan, union leader, and smokejumper who is running to put working people first – to lower costs, raise wages, and fight corruption in Washington. After putting himself through school at the University of Montana, Sam climbed the ranks in the U.S. Forest Service to become a smokejumper, an elite firefighter who puts their life on the line parachuting into the wilderness to fight wildfires. As Vice President of National Federation of Federal Employees’ (NFFE) Local 60, Sam took a stand when Elon Musk took a chainsaw to public land agencies, organizing against the cuts and trying to get Ryan Zinke to act. Fed up with Zinke’s failure to fight for Western Montana as workers lost their jobs and costs skyrocketed, Sam decided to run for Congress himself to finally give working people a voice. While Zinke’s hand-picked successor Aaron Flint prioritizes shady backroom deals and championing reckless, cost-hiking policies, Sam is focused on finally delivering for Western Montana.
Jamie Ager

A proud son of Western North Carolina and fourth-generation farmer, Jamie Ager grew up on his family farm, Hickory Nut Gap. Together, he and his wife built his family farm into a successful, sustainable small business. Jamie has never hesitated to help his neighbors. After Hurricane Helene, Jamie opened up his home and his farm to make sure those in need had a safe place to stay and food to eat — and when the time came, Jamie helped his neighbors repair their homes with his very own hands. While North Carolina Republicans deal with one disgraced candidate after another, Jamie has been building a coalition of working families, farmers, and community leaders to finally give Western North Carolina the principled leadership they deserve.
Denise Powell

Denise Powell is a mom, business leader, public school champion, and health care advocate who knows what it takes to deliver a real win in Nebraska. Denise built a clear track record protecting Nebraska’s public schools and the families they serve, as well as helping stop far-right extremists from passing abortion bans in the state. Denise has gone toe-to-toe with MAGA before and won. Now, Denise is running to beat MAGA again in NE-02, an open seat that Vice President Kamala Harris won by nearly 5 points in 2024, and one that is key to Democrats retaking the House majority. Denise would be the first Latina to represent Nebraska in Congress and the first woman to represent NE-02.
Rebecca Bennett
NJ-07

A former U.S. Navy helicopter pilot and test pilot, officer in the Air National Guard, health care business leader, and mom of two, Rebecca Bennett has always put service first. Rebecca decided early on that she wanted to serve our country, earning an ROTC scholarship before going on to graduate flight school at the top of her class. She flew the MH-60 Seahawk, leading missions, people, and teams in some of the most challenging environments in the world. Rebecca used the GI Bill to get her MBA and went on to work in health care to increase access to care, improve patients’ outcomes, and decrease costs. Now she’s stepping up to serve once again by running for Congress to lower costs and take on the culture of corruption in Washington. While career politician Tom Kean Jr. betrays New Jersey and takes marching orders from his D.C. party bosses, Rebecca will put her community first and fight for middle-class families just as hard as she fights for her own.
Cait Conley

A fourth-generation Hudson Valley native from a working-class family, Cait Conley started her application to West Point the day after seeing the Twin Towers fall on 9/11. The first in her family to graduate from college, Cait started her career as a military police officer. She served for 16 years as a decorated Army officer, including in special operations leadership, deploying to combat zones like Iraq and Afghanistan six times and earning three Bronze Stars. She continued her service as the Director for Counterterrorism at the White House and at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, defending American families, our critical infrastructure, and the integrity of our elections. Now Cait is answering the call to serve once again because Hudson Valley families are getting priced out and left behind as Mike Lawler puts Donald Trump’s corrupt, extreme agenda over the people he promised to represent. In one of the only Republican-held seats Vice President Kamala Harris won in 2024, Cait is a battle-tested fighter ready to deliver real results for NY-17 on day one.
Brian Poindexter

The son of a union machinist and grandson of a union autoworker, Brian Poindexter has spent his life on job sites and in factories. Brian grew up one of six kids in a working-class Cleveland household, started working at 15 in a machine shop, and drove long-haul across 48 states before joining Ironworkers Local 17 in 2007. He organized workers for fair pay and benefits and trained the next generation as an apprenticeship instructor. Elected to Brook Park City Council in 2017 as a Democrat, winning over Northeast Ohio voters who backed Trump by 8 points in 2024, Brian has brought those same pro-worker values to public service. Now, Brian is running for Congress because working people deserve a real seat at the table, not a wealthy D.C. insider like Max Miller who bought his seat, lives an out-of-touch lifestyle, and is now facing serious, credible allegations of domestic violence. In 2024, Max Miller won OH-07 with just 51% of the vote, a nearly 5-point collapse from his first election in 2022. While Max Miller sides with the wealthy and well-connected, Brian will fight for the workers who power Ohio’s economy.
Bob Harvie

Bob Harvie is a fourth-generation Bucks County resident who is fighting to restore the promise of the American Dream. Bob is a proud card-carrying union member who spent 20 years teaching social studies at Bucks County Technical High School. A twice elected Bucks County Commissioner who has never lost an election, Bob has delivered balanced budgets and a more than 90% bipartisan voting record because his North Star is improving the lives of the people he was elected to serve. Unlike Brian Fitzpatrick who went to Washington and now takes his marching orders from Trump and his special interest donors, Bob will never forget where he came from and will always put the community that raised him first.
Bob Brooks
PA-07

Firefighter Bob Brooks has spent his entire life standing up for working families and is running to give them a voice in Washington. Bob spent 20 years running into burning buildings as a Bethlehem firefighter, and still proudly serves as the president of the Pennsylvania Professional Fire Fighters Association where he fights for higher wages and better health care for his union. Before the firehouse, Bob worked a number of jobs just like many Pennsylvanians: dishwasher, short-order cook, bartender, landscaper, warehouse worker, and pizza delivery driver. Bob doesn’t look like a typical politician and that’s exactly why people trust him — he knows what it’s like to face foreclosure, rely on food assistance, and work more than one job at a time just to get by. While career politician Ryan Mackenzie votes to jack up costs, rip away health care, and screw over hardworking Lehigh Valley families, Bob is stepping up to serve his community once again and flip this swing seat back to blue.
Paige Cognetti

Paige Cognetti is a reformer who is willing to take on anyone to root out corruption and make government work for the people it’s supposed to serve. She first ran for Mayor of Scranton as an independent with a pledge to take on her own party and clean up a corrupt city hall — her campaign even earned the nickname “Paige Against the Machine.” Now in her third term as Mayor, Paige has delivered on her promise to do things differently. She’s breathed new life into Scranton by putting more cops on the beat and revitalizing the city’s finances. Her record stands in stark contrast to Congressman Rob Bresnahan, who has made himself the poster-child of D.C. corruption by breaking his promise to ban congressional stock trading and instead becoming one of the most active stock traders in all of Congress. The contrast couldn’t be clearer: while Bresnahan makes a quick buck, Paige is delivering for Northeastern Pennsylvanians.
Janelle Stelson

As a local broadcast journalist, Janelle Stelson has spent her career listening to and advocating for the people of Central Pennsylvania. She moved to Harrisburg in 1986 to join WHTM-TV as a reporter and weather anchor, and later joined WGAL-TV 8 where she spent 26 years as Central Pennsylvania’s most trusted voice. Janelle isn’t a career politician, she’s a truth-telling outsider running to shake up a broken Washington and make life more affordable. In 2024, she ran an incredibly strong race, winning Independent, Republican, and Democratic voters and outperforming the top of the ticket by one of the largest margins out of any candidate across the entire country. As Scott Perry continues to put his own extreme politics ahead of Central Pennsylvanians, Janelle is poised to flip this seat.
Bobby Pulido
TX-15
Bobby Pulido is not just a Tejano icon, he’s the embodiment of the Rio Grande Valley and South Texas culture. A life-long South Texan, Bobby has worked to give a voice to the community when they [...]
Bobby Pulido is not just a Tejano icon, he’s the embodiment of the Rio Grande Valley and South Texas culture. A life-long South Texan, Bobby has worked to give a voice to the community when they didn’t have one. Over his career, Bobby has become a proven advocate that understands the struggles his community is facing. Now, Bobby is answering the call to serve and bring South Texas values to Congress. Monica De La Cruz has abandoned South Texas, delivering devastating blows to working families. While these voters have known and loved Bobby for years, more than 6 in 10 voters in this newly drawn district are new to Monica De La Cruz thanks to Republicans’ gerrymander. As De La Cruz turns a blind eye to her community’s pain, Bobby is ready to bring a new voice to Washington and fight for a better future for South Texans.
Johnny Garcia

A San Antonio native, Johnny Garcia has spent his life serving his community. From working in construction to a career as local Sheriff’s Deputy for Bexar County, Johnny has dedicated his life to investing in his community — building a career rooted on transparency and service. Johnny’s mission is simple: delivering real solutions for the working families of TX-35. Throughout his career in law enforcement, Johnny learned the importance of putting community over partisan labels, ensuring that the needs of Texans are put first, no matter their party. Under the district’s new lines, Beto O’Rourke came within half a point of winning the district in 2018, the last midterm election during a Trump Administration. As Democrats continue to overperform across Texas, Johnny is ready to build on that momentum and make sure the voices of everyday Texans are heard.
Chaz Molder

Chaz Molder is a native son of Middle Tennessee. Chaz was elected as the mayor of his hometown of Columbia, a city that voted for Donald Trump by double digits, in 2018, defeating an incumbent Republican to become the youngest mayor in his city’s 200+ year history. Since then, Chaz has delivered for his community, revitalizing downtown Columbia, investing in public safety, and prioritizing community engagement all while passing a balanced budget without increasing property taxes. Chaz knows what it takes to win in tough places — he’s done it twice before, while Andy Ogles has never faced a strong challenger in his career. Now, Chaz is ready to win again and bring Middle Tennessee values to Congress.
Shannon Taylor

As Henrico’s top prosecutor, Shannon Taylor has made it her mission to protect and defend Virginia families. With a 90% conviction rate in homicide cases, Shannon has a record of holding accountable anyone who tries to harm her community. A native of Charlottesville and graduate of the University of Virginia and the University of Richmond Law School, she began her career as a prosecutor in Richmond before serving as a Special Assistant in the U.S. Attorney’s office. In 2011, she flipped the Henrico Commonwealth’s Attorney’s office from Republican to Democrat, becoming the first woman elected to the role and the first Democrat in nearly 40 years. She has since been reelected three times, proving she knows how to win tough races. Now Shannon is continuing her mission to defend Virginians, this time taking on nearly 20-year incumbent Rob Wittman who has exploded his personal net worth while in office and left hardworking Virginians behind.
Elaine Luria
VA-02

Elaine Luria knows what service looks like. At only 17 years old, Elaine wanted to be a part of something bigger than herself so she joined the Navy, where she served for 20 years as a Surface Warfare Officer and nuclear engineer. Before retiring as a Commander, Elaine deployed six times to the Middle East and Western Pacific serving on destroyers, carriers, and ultimately as the Commanding Officer of a combat-ready unit of 400 sailors. Elaine continued her service in Congress representing Coastal Virginia for four years, where she passed legislation to provide three cost-of-living increases for our veterans, lower health care and prescription drug costs, and led the most significant expansion of veterans’ health care in our lifetime — the PACT Act. Now, Elaine is answering the call to serve once again because Jen Kiggans has repeatedly broken her promises to Virginians and put her party bosses over the veterans and hardworking families she swore she would protect.
Rebecca Cooke

Rebecca Cooke is a 6th generation Wisconsinite who worked and grew up on a dairy farm in Eau Claire, raised with the values of service and hard work. As a small business owner and nonprofit leader — and now as a waitress — Rebecca has spent her life building community and serving others. She understands the experiences of working families because she’s lived them, and she believes we need more working-class voices in Congress. Rebecca is running to better serve communities across Wisconsin, put people first, and provide more opportunities for success, and she will be a relentless fighter for the Western Wisconsin way of life. While Derrick Van Orden thinks he’s better than the people he represents, no one fights harder for Wisconsin families and farmers than Rebecca. Following her overperformance in this Trump district last cycle, Rebecca is the candidate to flip this seat and bring Wisconsin values to Congress.
