Democrats Expand Red to Blue Recruiting with Five New Candidates

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee added five candidates to its Red to Blue top-recruit list, including three military veterans, bringing the total to 37. Leela Gray (retired Army brigadier general) is challenging Rep. Anna Paulina Luna in Florida; Zach Dembo (former Navy JAG) in Kentucky; Nancy Lacore (former Navy admiral) in South Carolina; Matt Dunlap (Maine state auditor) in Maine’s 2nd District; and Tom Perriello (former congressman) in Virginia’s 5th. Democrats are banking on veteran credentials to flip seats in 2026 as the Iran war continues, with these districts identified as competitive or vulnerable by observers.

Democrats see path to a full Colorado congressional flip in 2026

National Democrats now believe they could flip all four GOP-held Colorado seats in 2026, with the DCCC designating the 3rd and 4th districts as 'in play' and signaling potential involvement in districts 5 and 8 as well; Dems already hold the 1st, 2nd, 6th and 7th. The shift comes from a favorable national environment and district-level signals that Hurd and Boebert could be vulnerable: a 3rd District poll shows a near-tied race for Hurd against Romero, while in the 4th District Laubacher leads in fundraising against Boebert. If Republicans must spend to defend these seats, it could free up resources elsewhere, making a broader Colorado flip more plausible.

Dems split over DCCC primaries spending after CA-22 race

The DCCC spent about $135,000 to back Jasmeet Bains in California’s 22nd District Democratic primary, triggering backlash from progressives and some lawmakers who argue dues should not fund primary meddling or favor certain candidates. Randy Villegas won the nomination, prompting calls from his backers for more equal treatment of candidates and for the DCCC to curb primary spending or balance resources across factions ahead of November. DCCC leadership defended the strategy as part of efforts to win the majority, with ongoing discussions among party leaders about the approach.

Kelly Turns Trump Spotlight into Democratic Fundraising Engine

Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly has leveraged the heightened attention from former President Trump to become a major Democratic fundraiser for 2026, directing nearly $5 million to candidates, party committees, and state parties in 2025—including over $1.4 million in direct contributions and more than $2.3 million to the DSCC—while traveling to key states and building a profile that could anchor a 2028 bid.

Democrats aim to flip 31 GOP House seats in 2024.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has identified 31 Republican-held districts and two open Democratic-held districts as critical battlegrounds to reclaiming the House majority in next year’s elections. The list includes some notable names, including Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) and House Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry (R-Pa.). Reps. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) and Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) are vacating the list’s two open seats to run for Senate in 2024. The DCCC aims to ensure voters see the clear contrast between Democrats’ track record of delivering for the middle class and Republicans’ radical agenda that puts Americans’ pocketbooks, communities, and livelihoods at risk.
