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 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.

This 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.
