August 11, 2026 partisan primary

Look closely at every contested seat.

A Democratic trifecta is within reach. The people elected to these seats will matter more than ever—and not everyone with a D after their name is the same.

If an absentee ballot has arrived in your mailbox, take time to research every contested race before returning it. Vote for the candidates who share your values, then show up for them with your time, voice, or a donation.
