Less Than 100 Days From the Midterms, DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene Lays Out Democrats’ Path to the House Majority

• “The stakes couldn’t be higher this election, and we are united in winning in districts all across the country and having a governing majority taking back the gavels, and that’s in districts everywhere in the country.”
• “We have candidates who are farmers, teachers, veterans, doctors, even a Grammy-winning musician, who are all running because they are connected to their communities, they are talking about the issues that matter, and they are really authentic, independent-minded voices for these communities. That’s how you win in these purple districts, which really are going to decide the majority.”

• “We’ve been on offense across the country. People are angry with the broken promises they have seen from this administration — the high cost of living, the struggles that communities are going through — and Republicans don’t care. We have great candidates, we have the right message, and we have the resources to get that message out.”
• “When they redrew these maps, they actually created opportunities for us. Look in South Texas, we have Vicente Gonzalez and Henry Cuellar who are going to win re-election. They were trying to take away their seats, they’re in a strong position. And they’ve also created opportunities for us to pick up seats in places like TX-15 and TX-35 with our candidates Bobby Pulido and Johnny Garcia.”

• “We have great candidates. We have the momentum. We have the message. And I think the thing that’s been really critical too is that the American people are with us. They want folks who are going to stand up for the issues they’re facing and support them. And Republicans don’t care. They are a rubber stamp for Donald Trump.”
• “[T]he number one issue across the country is affordability. Families are struggling with housing, food, healthcare, childcare, energy costs, gas prices. It’s hard when you’re just trying to get by day-to-day to think about anything else.”

• “The American people are with us. They are struggling right now and are tired of the broken promises from Republicans, and are ready to elect folks who are going to stand up for them, not be rubber stamps for Donald Trump.”

From the start of the 2026 cycle, the DCCC has purposefully and methodically expanded the House battlefield, targeting districts Vice President Harris won that are still represented by a Republican to districts that President Trump won by double-digits — all while shoring up Frontliners for their own reelections. No matter if the district is suburban, rural, or redistricted, we are decidedly on offense in an election cycle that is defined by voter outrage at spiraling costs and the Iran war spiraling out of control, disappointment with the Republicans in charge, and a resonate message and enthusiasm among Democrats to turn out and vote in November.
