US House 2026 elections: Democratic challengers [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']
Date: 2025-09-10
I'm working on curating a list of declared Democratic challengers to Republican House incumbents in 2026. Here is the list so far, a good-looking batch of 107 fresh faces:
Democratic challengers 2026
The FEC currently lists about 1,153 House challengers for 2026, 681 Democratic and 472 Republican. A lot of the candidates listed have $0 cash on hand, though, and so may not pose a significant challenge at least yet. To make the task of collating them more tractable, I set a cutoff of $10,000 cash on hand. That results in the aforesaid 107 Democratic challengers pitted against Republican incumbents to date for 65 separate Republican seats.
The candidate cards listed have mugshots, campaign page links, ActBlue donation links, and some introductory text:
There are currently filters for state and district.
The $10,000 cutoff is somewhat arbitrary & misses some interesting candidates, such as recently announced Scranton mayor Paige Cognetti (Paige Against the Machine) running against Robert Bresnahan in PA-08. So I added her.
If anyone knows of any additional promising candidates, please let me know in comments. Also, suggestions about how to make the page more useful are appreciated.
