Amish Shah is an emergency room physician who is committed to serving his community. When he’s not picking up shifts in the ER, Amish is knocking on tens of thousands of doors in Arizona’s First Congressional District to hear directly from voters about what matters most to them. Amish understands that costs are squeezing families, and as a physician himself he’s seen the devastating impact of D.C. Republicans’ cuts to health care up close. He’s ready to go to Congress to improve Arizonans’ health care, lower costs, and fight for families. A former State Representative who’s already represented parts of AZ-01 in the State House, Amish is known as an independent voice who puts Arizona families before party politics. With a track record of rejecting partisan extremism, Amish is focused on getting things done for Arizona families.

Former Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez was born and raised in Northern Arizona and has spent his life putting people before politics. Growing up on his family’s ranch without running water or electricity, Jonathan learned the values of hard work, responsibility, and community. He brought those lessons with him as President of the Navajo Nation, where he worked with his Republican Vice President to get things done for rural Arizona. Jonathan is running for Congress to give rural Arizonans a real seat at the table, cut through the noise, and deliver real results — not play party politics. As the 2024 Democratic nominee, Jonathan significantly overperformed statewide Democratic candidates — at the same time Republican Eli Crane significantly underperformed the top of the ticket.

JoAnna “Jo” Mendoza is a Marine Corps veteran, single mom, and battle-tested Arizonan born and raised in Pinal County. The daughter of farmworkers, Jo enlisted in the U.S. military at 17 and served our country for 20 years, both in the Navy and the Marine Corps. A retired Marine Corps drill instructor, Jo is the mission-focused leader Arizonans need in Congress to lower costs for families, create good-paying jobs, and keep communities safe. Jo is running to serve Arizona’s Sixth Congressional District because she’s sick and tired of rubberstamp politicians like Juan Ciscomani who say what they think Arizonans want to hear, then vote however their party bosses tell them to. Unlike Ciscomani, Jo will always put Arizonans first.

Dr. Richard Pan is a pediatrician, educator, and former State Legislator who has spent his career fighting for the health and safety of California families. He’s taken on some of the state’s toughest challenges — expanding access to affordable health care, lowering prescription drug costs, protecting children during public health crises, and supporting first responders and public safety. A proven fighter, Dr. Pan stood up to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and anti-vaccine extremists’ attacks to protect children and public health, and he will take on those same powerful interests in Washington. In a district made bluer by Proposition 50, Dr. Pan is uniquely positioned to take the case to “MAGA champion” Kevin Kiley, as he tries to hide his extreme record from voters. While Kiley chases political opportunism, Dr. Pan is focused on delivering results for Sacramento families.

The son of Mexican immigrants, Randy Villegas is a Central Valley native, auto repair shop owner, and educator who has spent his life fighting for his community. He attended Bakersfield public schools and grew up in a working-class family that relied on Medi-Cal and WIC to make ends meet – the same programs now under threat because of David Valadao’s votes to gut health care and SNAP. Through hard work and education, Randy worked his way out of poverty and went on to serve students and families on his local school board. Randy is a working-class leader fighting to ensure Valley families have the representation they deserve – someone who will work to lower costs, increase access to affordable health care and medicine, and ensure government works for working people, not special interests and billionaires. In this increasingly competitive Trump +2 seat, Valadao has made himself more vulnerable by turning his back on the Valley, gutting the very health care programs Randy grew up on, and putting party politics ahead of his constituents.

Marni von Wilpert is a public servant, former prosecutor, and San Diego City Councilmember who has spent her career taking on powerful interests and winning for working people. The daughter of a U.S. Army veteran, Marni served in the Peace Corps during the AIDS epidemic, went on to found a legal clinic to combat discrimination, and later helped write the PRO Act to strengthen workers’ rights. As a Deputy City Attorney and civil prosecutor, she took on opioid manufacturers and price-gouging corporations ripping off consumers. And after flipping one of San Diego’s most conservative council seats, Marni proved she can build the broad coalition needed to win tough races and deliver results on affordability and public safety. After Proposition 50, this newly competitive district is central to regaining the House majority. Marni is exactly the kind of fighter needed to beat MAGA extremist Jim Desmond, who has done nothing but dismiss rising costs and embrace the worst of Donald Trump and Republicans’ agenda that is increasingly out of step with CA-48 voters.

Jessica Killin is a fourth-generation Coloradan, U.S. Army veteran, and devoted mom who has consistently proven her deep commitment to her state and country. The daughter of public school educators, Jessica was raised in Colorado Springs and grew up understanding the value of public service. After earning a ROTC scholarship, Jessica served as a Captain and paratrooper in the U.S. Army, leading soldiers overseas as a military police officer. Following her military service, Jessica spent more than a decade advocating for military families. Jessica knows exactly why Washington isn’t working for Southern Colorado, and she’s running for Congress to be an independent voice to lower costs for families, support our veterans, and restore fiscal responsibility. Jessica is the no-nonsense leader Coloradans deserve to flip CO-05 — the most Democratic-trending congressional district in the nation.

Manny Rutinel understands the challenges working Coloradans are facing. As a teen, Manny worked at McDonald’s, tutored kids, and even sold his blood plasma to help pay the bills after the bank foreclosed on his family home. And after putting himself through college, Manny joined the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and went on to graduate from Yale Law School. Manny is running for Congress to fight for working families, create good jobs, and improve Coloradans’ health care. The son of a single mom who immigrated from Latin America, Manny’s powerful story resonates with CO-08, an R+0, working class, 40% Latino district that is souring on Gabe Evans and Donald Trump.

Bale Dalton has spent his life in service to Florida and the United States. Bale served 24 years in the U.S. Navy and Navy Reserve as a Naval Aviator, including 13 years on active duty, and commanded the Navy’s special operations support helicopter squadron. He previously advocated for Florida’s military families and bases as military legislative assistant to Bill Nelson in the U.S. Senate, and most recently served as Chief of Staff at NASA. Now, Bale is ready to lead in Congress to help Central Floridians get ahead. As Cory Mills’ record of lies, scandals, and corruption grows, Bale’s undeniable record of always putting service over self makes him the exact kind of candidate that can flip this seat from red to blue this November.

Retired Army Brigadier General Leela Gray has dedicated her life to serving her country and is running for Congress to bring that same commitment to Florida families. A third-generation veteran, Leela served 30 years in uniform, including three deployments, before earning her law degree to help fellow veterans access the benefits they earned. A mother, attorney, and longtime Tampa Bay resident, Leela has always put service over self. She offers a stark contrast to Anna Paulina Luna, who came to Washington chasing fame, and has spent her time enriching herself off political connections, trying to sabotage bipartisan relief for struggling families, and breaking faith with the nearly 60,000 veterans in her district. Leela is ready to defeat Luna and give Pinellas County and Pasco County a representative who shows up, delivers, and puts people over politics.

Born and raised in Palm Beach County, Pia Dandiya started her career as a teacher and high school principal. She went on to lead public sector initiatives in technology, working to advance bold solutions in education, health care, and state government. She lives in Palm Beach County with her husband and son, where her son attends the same school Pia’s mother founded over thirty years ago. A working mother who wants to write a new future, Pia is determined to make the American dream more accessible to South Floridians by addressing the affordability crisis, protecting essential programs like Social Security and Medicare, and holding Republicans accountable for their broken promises. Pia is ready to bring her proven record of leadership, her conviction in the power of our democracy, and her commitment to putting the American people first to Washington.

Christina Bohannan grew up living in a trailer in a rural small town. She understands the struggles Iowa families face firsthand: when her construction worker dad got sick and his insurance was canceled, her family was forced to choose between paying for his medicine and paying for everything else. A mom, law professor, and former engineer, Christina is running for Congress because she believes we need less partisan infighting and more common sense solutions that put Iowans first. While Mariannette Miller-Meeks is in the pocket of the special interests, Christina will take them on and put families first to protect Iowans’ health care, grow the rural economy, and get costs down. In 2024, Christina came just 799 votes away from flipping this Trump +8 seat and this year, she will finish the job to defeat Miller-Meeks and bring real representation to Southeast Iowa.

Lindsay James is a public-school mom, former chaplain, Presbyterian minister, and Iowa state representative whose faith drives her to take on a broken system. Whether it’s fighting back against predatory corporate landlords, standing with workers screwed by corporations shipping jobs overseas, or working to lower the cost of lifesaving medication, Lindsay puts people before the powerful. This open seat race is a contrast between lobbyist, career politician, carpetbagger, and revolving door insider Joe Mitchell — versus a fighter for Northeast Iowa who will take on the corrupt system that Mitchell represents. A proven electoral overperformer with a message that resonates with Iowans failed by a broken Washington, Lindsay will flip this seat.

Sarah Trone Garriott is a mom and a Lutheran minister who has spent her life serving her community — as a hospital chaplain, a pastor, a leader at the Des Moines Area Religious Council Food Pantry Network, and now a State Senator. Sarah successfully flipped a Republican-held seat in the Iowa State Senate in 2020; then she took on the Republican State Senate president in 2022 and won before going on to defend her Trump-won seat again in 2024. Sarah has always stood up for hardworking Iowans and will fight to lower costs, protect health care, and make life more affordable for families like hers. While Zach Nunn works for his party bosses and special interests, Sarah works for Iowa.

Ninth-generation Kentuckian Zach Dembo has dedicated his life to serving our country and standing up to corruption wherever he sees it. Zach spent more than 4 years in the Navy on active duty, commissioned as an officer in the Judge Advocate General’s (JAG) Corps. After serving his country in uniform, Zach became a federal prosecutor in the US Department of Justice where he went after violent criminals and saw firsthand just how broken and corrupt Washington has become. Zach also served Governor Andy Beshear as a policy advisor, working alongside him to move Kentucky forward. Now Zach is running to bring Central Kentucky’s voice to Congress and fight corruption head on, just like he’s always done.

Matt Dunlap is a lifelong Mainer who worked as a dishwasher, bartender, and fur-trapper before dedicating his career to serving the people of Maine and being elected to the state legislature. A former labor union member born and raised on a farm near Bar Harbor, Matt has served in statewide office twice, first as Secretary of State and now as State Auditor, where he’s worked to root out government waste, fraud, and inefficiency. As a gun owner and former executive director of the Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine, Matt has built a coalition that transcends parties and has consistently earned the trust of voters across the political spectrum. Now, Matt is running for Congress because Mainers deserve a representative who will lower costs, protect Social Security and Medicaid, and take on the billionaires rigging the economy against working families — not an extremist like Paul LePage who cheers on health care cuts and lines the pockets of his ultra-wealthy donors. Matt is the independent, Maine-first fighter the Second District deserves in Congress.

Born and raised in Michigan where he is now raising his family, Sean McCann has dedicated his career to giving back to his community: as a nonprofit leader, State Representative, and now a State Senator after flipping a Republican-held seat. For Sean, public service is about problem solving and helping Michigan families achieve the American dream. Sean worked across the aisle to pass bipartisan Medicaid expansion and delivered the largest tax cut in Michigan history. Bill Huizenga has gotten rich in Congress while siding with his billionaire backers over Michigan families but Sean has never forgotten who he works for. In a district that voted for Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, Sean is the exact kind of leader to cut through the chaos and get results for Southwest Michigan.

With deep roots in Macomb County, Christina Hines is running for Congress to fight for the community that raised her. As chief prosecutor for the special victims unit, Christina took on violent criminals and predators to keep children safe. Now as a mom raising her three kids in her hometown of Warren, Christina understands the struggles families are experiencing because her working class family lives them, too. Christina will fight tooth and nail to lower the cost of living, protect families and keep them safe, stand up to corruption, and bring a new generation of leadership to Washington. In an open seat race decided by just 1,600 votes in the last midterm election, Christina will flip the 10th District blue and be the fighter that Michigan deserves.

The son of a garbage collector and a meter reader, Jake Johnson and his ten siblings grew up in a working class family that worked hard to achieve the American dream while relying on Medicaid and SNAP. Now a public school math teacher and leader in his union, Jake is running for Congress because Southern Minnesota is struggling — and D.C. swamp creature Brad Finstad is making things worse for families like the one he grew up in. Jake will work to bring down costs, tackle corruption, go after wasteful spending and misuse of taxpayer dollars, and invest in Minnesota’s small towns. While Finstad prioritizes special interests and refuses to show up for Minnesotans, Jake will put families and farmers first. In this district won three times by Amy Klobuchar, Jake is the candidate who will flip this seat and bring change to Southern Minnesota.

Sam Forstag is a working Montanan, union leader, and smokejumper who is running to put working people first – to lower costs, raise wages, and fight corruption in Washington. After putting himself through school at the University of Montana, Sam climbed the ranks in the U.S. Forest Service to become a smokejumper, an elite firefighter who puts their life on the line parachuting into the wilderness to fight wildfires. As Vice President of National Federation of Federal Employees’ (NFFE) Local 60, Sam took a stand when Elon Musk took a chainsaw to public land agencies, organizing against the cuts and trying to get Ryan Zinke to act. Fed up with Zinke’s failure to fight for Western Montana as workers lost their jobs and costs skyrocketed, Sam decided to run for Congress himself to finally give working people a voice. While Zinke’s hand-picked successor Aaron Flint prioritizes shady backroom deals and championing reckless, cost-hiking policies, Sam is focused on finally delivering for Western Montana.
