Flip the House

The path to the majority

Across eighteen battleground districts, our candidates are the servant leaders who will flip the House.

All of them served before — the Army, AmeriCorps, the Peace Corps, the classroom. Now they're running to serve again, with the background to win and the character to lead.

The map that will flip the House

Because of their service, they outrun the party brand and outrun establishment candidates. Our challengers will win new seats and our incumbents will hold theirs. Flipping the House takes both.

To win tough elections — and to show the country that politics can still do big things — America needs leaders, not politicians. The difference is service: the courage, the values, and the ability to get things done.

That's who New Politics recruits and backs.
