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.

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.
