The 2026 midterms are a historic opportunity to fundamentally shift the state legislative balance of power by capturing new majorities, supermajorities, and trifectas, while flipping seats in every chamber on the ballot and breaking GOP supermajorities.
The DLCC’s 2026 Target Map pinpoints where Democrats must focus our attention and resources to strengthen our firewall in state legislatures and counter the MAGA extremism of Donald Trump and the Republican Congress in Washington, D.C.
This progress can only be realized through well-funded campaigns across the country that drive voter enthusiasm with clear, affirmative messaging and vision. Majorities in many states could come down to just a few districts and a few votes per precinct and the DLCC’s national strategy to bring attention and resources to this fight will make all the difference.
