Washington, DC – March On PAC today announced its first slate of endorsements for the 2026 electoral cycle, backing Democratic fighters running for office in Texas, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, and Maryland.
The early endorsements reflect a strategic effort to shape the 2026 landscape early, compete broadly up and down the ballot, and support leaders who are visible fighters for working families at a time when democracy, public education, reproductive freedom, and economic security are under sustained attack. Backing candidates who meet this moment head-on gives Democrats the strongest chance to mobilize the base, persuade swing voters, and push back effectively against MAGA extremism.
Andrea Pringle, President of March On PAC said of the endorsements, “Winning in 2026 cannot mean going back to business as usual. It cannot mean playing it safe or waiting for the political winds to shift. Winning means earning back trust by showing voters that Democrats are willing to fight clearly and consistently for working families.”
“The Democratic base understands that this moment requires something different. Democracy, public education, reproductive freedom, and economic security are under attack at every level of government. To defeat MAGA extremism and strengthen the party, we must build power everywhere, invest early, and back leaders who have the conviction to meet this moment head-on. That is what winning actually requires.”
The endorsed candidates are running for US Senate, Governor, US House, and state legislative offices, reflecting March On PAC’s commitment to building power at every level of government.

The slate represents a broad investment across regions and levels of government, from Southern strongholds to Midwestern battlegrounds and emerging competitive terrain. March On PAC is competing in states that are essential not only to confronting MAGA extremism, but to strengthening Democratic power for the long term, including areas where sustained investment has too often lagged. Durable majorities are built by expanding the field of play, not shrinking it.
In this cycle, March On PAC is moving early and backing its endorsed candidates with direct financial contributions and independent expenditures, including paid advertising and targeted voter engagement. The slate includes leaders who reflect the communities they seek to serve and represent the New American Majority, strengthening the broad coalition required to win in diverse and evolving states. Early investment allows candidates to define their races, build momentum, and compete from a position of strength.
Powered by thousands of grassroots donors across the country, predominantly women and long-time Democratic activists, March On PAC reflects a base that is demanding visible leadership and sustained engagement in this cycle.
This first round of endorsements marks the beginning of a broader 2026 effort to elect fighters, expand the Democratic map, and build the governing power required to defend democracy and deliver for working families.
