Don't despair. Mobilize.

Trump’s election has galvanized the progressive movement, including bringing in many people who’ve never been politically active before. In November 2018, we’ll have the chance to channel this surge of activism into winning back the House of Representatives.

But the Left has a geography problem—we tend to live in deep blue urban areas. So how can millions of energized progressives make a difference in Swing Districts, where most of us don’t live? Simple: by targeting close races and electing more Democrats nationwide.

Swing Districts are places where the winner of the last House of Representatives election was determined by a thin margin. Swing Left helps you find and commit to supporting progressives in your closest Swing District so that you can help ensure we take back the House in 2018.

It Starts with the House

Control of the House of Representatives in 2018 will be decided by a small number of Swing Districts, places where the last election was decided by a thin margin. This fund will support candidates in those tight races wherever they occur—so your one contribution here can have the greatest impact nationwide.

The goal is simple: to target swing districts to elect more Democrats—and regain control of our government. The 2018 House elections are the next best chance for progressives to regain power in our government.

There are 78 Swing Districts. These are places where the last election was won by 15% of the vote or less, where Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump, where a high concentration of Swing Left volunteers make certain districts very winnable, or where other, specific circumstances make it a competitive district. We need to flip at least 23 seats to take back the House in 2018.
If we hold on to the vulnerable Democratic-held districts, we only need to flip 23 Republican-held House seats to take back the house in 2018. This is a winnablefight.
The 2018 Senate map heavily favors Republicans, making the House a more viable place to focus our efforts.
House races receive less attention, so your dollars, hours, and talents count more.
We're starting early to unify progressives who promote tolerance, equality, unity and fairness. To out-organize Republicans, we can't wait.

Where Does the Money Go?

Swing Left District Funds are pots of money that we're raising right now to give the eventual Democratic nominee in each Swing District a financial head start in the 2018 House elections. That's important because Nominees usually emerge from primaries cash poor, while their incumbent opponent has been amassing funds for years. So we’re raising as much money as we can, as early as we can, to give the Democratic challengers to Swing District Republicans a running start.

We're also channelling money into advertising, awareness, and grassroots mobilization (which takes money...even working with volunteers). Plus, midterm elections typically don’t get the attention they deserve. Our goal is to get everyone talking about the midterms in ways that inspire action—and ensure the elections stay top of mind, all year long.
