The DLCC’s Final Top 10 Races List Before the Midterms Just Dropped: Get the First Look

We’re in the home stretch before the midterm elections on November 3rd – just 33 days are left to be exact. The DLCC is leaving it all on the field to reshape the future of our country by electing a historic number of Democrats across our 2026 Target Map. While the tide is turning toward Democrats, Donald Trump’s state GOP cronies are pulling out all the stops to stunt our momentum. The DLCC’s Top 10 Races for October is our latest slate of exceptional leaders running to flip crucial seats from Republicans.

These are the Top 10 Races to watch in October:

While the Supreme Court rejected Donald Trump’s latest attack on mail-in voting, we can’t rely on his installed justices to save our democracy – electing state Democrats standing up to a reckless GOP by fortifying our democratic process is critical.

Our statehouses are the guardrails against a rogue executive branch issuing anti-Constitutional executive orders, meddling in our electoral process and undermining millions of voters’ rights. State Democrats are united in protecting your right to vote; Republicans want to silence it.

Our October Top 10 Races focus on some of Democrats’ most critical races in the states: from flipping chambers in Wisconsin and Arizona for an outright majority to breaking Republicans’ unilateral control in states like Texas and Iowa, we have a historic opportunity in front of us and 33 days to seize it. 

A durable foundation of power will shape what’s possible in future elections if Democrats are in a stronger position to shape redistricting, defend voting laws, and protect our elections. With poll after poll favoring Democrats up and down the ballot, the GOP’s best gambit is to spend big in state legislatures to protect their abilities to gerrymander and undermine voting laws so they can rig their way to a House majority in 2028. These candidates need your support to combat the wave of Republicans’ multi-million dollar spending against them, win their races, and reshape the country for the better.  

Will you help support downballot Democrats sweep the country’s statehouses ahead of the midterms?
