The DLCC Target Map 2026

The 2026 midterms are a historic opportunity to fundamentally shift the state legislative balance of power by capturing new majorities, supermajorities, and trifectas, while flipping seats in every chamber on the ballot and breaking GOP supermajorities.

The DLCC’s 2026 Target Map pinpoints where Democrats must focus our attention and resources to strengthen our firewall in state legislatures and counter the MAGA extremism of Donald Trump and the Republican Congress in Washington, D.C.

This progress can only be realized through well-funded campaigns across the country that drive voter enthusiasm with clear, affirmative messaging and vision. Majorities in many states could come down to just a few districts and a few votes per precinct and the DLCC’s national strategy to bring attention and resources to this fight will make all the difference.

Over the last decade, the DLCC’s data-driven, evidence-based strategy has won back 10 legislative majorities – nearly half of all Americans now live in a state with at least one Democratic legislative chamber. While Donald Trump and MAGA extremists control Washington, D.C., state Democratic majorities are holding the line and moving policy forward to improve lives and lower costs for families while protecting freedoms and expanding opportunities.
