Flip the U.S. House

Our Priority Swing Districts:

California’s Central Valley

CA-13: California’s 13th Congressional District. Democrat Adam Gray is the incumbent, having won the seat by just 187 votes in 2024!  This seat is “Must Hold” per Swing Left

CA-22: California’s 22nd Congressional District (situated in the Central Valley between Fresno and Bakersfield). The incumbent is Republican David Valadao. We can flip it, per Swing Left!

You Can Help!

Get started now!

We are ramping up our letter-writing, door-knocking (canvassing), phone-banking (making calls), fundraising and training efforts. Watch for opportunities on our events page!

Letter Center

We send letters that include heartfelt, handwritten notes to unregistered and low-propensity voters encouraging them to participate in our democracy. These letters are particularly effective in non-Presidential election years, like 2026.

Converse with Voters

Personal chats help voters feel heard—and more likely to cast a vote for a brighter future. As Election Day nears, one‑on‑one conversations boost turnout dramatically. Your outreach brings huge rewards.

We’re volunteers on the San Francisco Peninsula (from Daly City to Sunnyvale and over to the coast) who work hard to win swing races that will secure Democratic majorities in D.C. and key states. Our 2026 priority is flipping the U.S. House, the clearest path to putting a check on Trump and MAGA’s assault on our freedoms. By engaging in the most strategic and winnable races, your actions and money will have the highest impact.

In 2026, we’re focusing on the two close-margin House races that are closest to us, both in the Central Valley: California’s 13th and 22nd Congressional districts (CA-13 and CA-22). Swing Left’s research and strategy guide our actions. We will also support efforts in other parts of the country.
