DSCC Announces $40 Million Investment in Win The Senate Program

The investment includes voter contact and organizing programs, state infrastructure, and Republican accountability work – building on the groundwork already laid for Senate Democrats to flip seats in 2026

Today the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is announcing investments in its Win The Senate program: a $40 million commitment in ten Senate battleground states (AK, FL, GA, IA, ME, MI, NC, NH, OH, TX) to help build the infrastructure for Senate Democratic campaigns and Democrats running at every level of the ballot to win in 2026.

All cycle long, the DSCC has been investing in state parties, on-the-ground staffers focused on Republican accountability, and organizing programs aimed at boosting Democrats’ chances to take the majority – and this program’s official announcement is a reflection of our sustained commitment to flipping the Senate in the next 98 days. Additional states and funding could be added as the cycle continues. 

“Across the country, hardworking Americans are paying the price for Republicans’ harmful agenda – from higher costs to less health care – and voters are ready for change,” said Senate Democratic Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer and DSCC Chair Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand.  “Democrats have expanded the battleground map and created multiple pathways to win a Senate majority, thanks to strong candidate recruitment, formidable campaigns, weakened Republican opponents and a winning message that focuses on the needs and demands of working families across America who have been left behind in Republicans’ priorities. Today’s announcement allows us to build on our momentum and puts Democrats in a prime position to flip the Senate in less than 100 days.”

“The DSCC has been disciplined and committed to making strategic decisions and sustained investments throughout the course of this cycle, and as a result we are in the best position possible to flip the Senate,” said Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Executive Director Devan Barber. “This investment in organizing is critical and it, alongside the work that we and Democratic campaigns have put in for years, will allow us to continue to lay the groundwork to reach and build relationships with voters that will be critical to Democrats winning in 2026.” 

The Win The Senate program continues to fund: 

• On-the-ground field staff;
  
• Offices and infrastructure; 
• Field training programs that will help increase volunteer capacity in 2026; 
• State-run programs focused on outreach to Latino voters, Black voters, AAPI voters, Alaska Native voters and younger voters;
• Communications and research staff focused on defining and holding GOP Senate candidates accountable; and
• Voter protection staff.
