The Underfunded Dozen! WINNABLE House Seats! FLIPS Red to Blue in the House

Let's do it!


Let's FLIP these 12 red seats to blue and take back the majority control of the House by supporting these competitive races that are falling behind on funding. These races aren't getting the recognition and funding they deserve and can't be competitive without our help, but are winnable races!

At 50 State Strategy we believe we need a Democratic candidate in every race because we lose by default every debate in which we don’t have a voice. We must join the discussion in every district without fail. Also, supporting Democratic candidates, even if they lose, builds their "war chest" and name recognition for future races.


We must promote our Democratic message everywhere, converting states from red to purple and from purple to blue wins! Let's not allow one Republican to go unchallenged either at the podium or at the ballot box!  

          

Let’s flip red to blue in a #BlueWave2024!
