Washington is on the DLCC’s 2026 Target Map.
DLCC is proud to partner with Washington State Democrats, who wield substantial power to set policy and make progress in a state with more than 8 million people.
The Washington legislature has been on the frontlines of protecting their communities and fighting back against the Trump Administration’s reckless agenda and have used their majorities to decrease costs for their constituents, help people pay off medical debt, and enhance gun safety.Â
2026 is a historic opportunity to build a Democratic supermajority in the Washington House. Democrats need to gain just 7 seats to build a House supermajority and the DLCC will be targeting several competitive races across the state.Â
The DLCC will be targeting competitive races across the state and sharing more info on DLCC Target Races in Washington soon.

DLCC Board Member
Senate Deputy Majority Leader Manka Dhingra
With over two decades of experience as a prosecutor and behavioral health expert, Senate Deputy Leader Manka Dhingra has led some of Washington’s most transformative criminal justice reforms. Dhingra’s special election win in 2017 drew national attention as she successfully flipped the seat to secure Democratic Senate control and deliver a Democratic trifecta that has supported the state’s strong and diverse economy. Born in India, she brings a powerful immigrant perspective and a deep commitment to protecting the American Dream. She broke barriers when she became the first Sikh state legislator elected in the country. Her leadership is urgently needed as state Democrats work to protect their communities from DC Republicans’ attacks.
