Leading
Ladies Act

on issues that affect all families and communities!

 WE ARE LEADING LADIES. We are committed to equal access for all to education, health care, housing, food, jobs, and political representation, whatever their ethnicity, race, religion, or sexual identity. We are also committed to common sense gun laws, humane immigration policies, and the sustainability of our planet.

This consensus is our mandate.

Our vote is our power.

Introducing our 2026 Congressional Candidate Dashboard

In the 2026 midterm elections, control of Congress could hinge on just a handful of races — and they might NOT be in your state. Ten pivotal battleground states could decide the balance of power in the U.S. House. The candidates — FROM BOTH PARTIES — running in these districts will help shape national policy on everything from reproductive rights to climate action, so their positions matter to all of us.

Our Candidate Dashboard gives you a look at key contenders in these critical races, detailing their policy positions, party affiliation, backgrounds, and priorities — information that’s essential whether you vote in these states or simply care about the balance of power in Congress.

We Believe

Every person has a right to food, shelter, and good health care.

Civil rights laws, our Constitution, and moral decency dictate that discrimination on the basis of race, sex, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation is wrong and unacceptable.
