We flipped 70 seats from red to blue. These candidates ran in toss-up and deep-red districts that were once dismissed and written off by the establishment. We believed they could win, and they did. Racheal Bleicher helped break the Republican supermajority in the Indiana House. Tyler Smith won a seat that helped Democrats gain control of the Texas House. Allie Phillips, a working mom who was denied an emergency abortion in Tennessee, flipped a seat in the state House. Jared Sluss beat a Republican incumbent by ~600 votes —in Alabama! Our candidates are making history. Thanks for supporting us and supporting them. runforsomething.net/2026-res…
