Cait Conley is a Hudson Valley native, the daughter of a postal worker and a construction worker. She applied to West Point the day after 9/11 and went on to serve in the Army, first as a military police officer and then in special operations leadership, deploying six times and earning three Bronze Stars. Cait concluded her active-duty career as Director for Counterterrorism at the National Security Council, where Russia sanctioned her for her work, and then served as a senior executive at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, protecting critical infrastructure and the systems that run our elections.

She put her life on the line to serve this country, not any person or political party, and especially not corporate special interests. Now, Cait is running to take on corruption so politicians can't keep lining their pockets at the taxpayers' expense, including by banning stock trading; lowering middle-class taxes; and holding monopoly utility companies and Big Pharma accountable to lower costs.

Zach Dembo is a ninth-generation Kentuckian who hopes to flip this open seat currently represented by Rep. Andy Barr (R), who is running to replace retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY). While President Trump carried this district easily in 2024, Democratic Governor Andy Beshear won the district by 20 points in 2023, Dembo has effectively linked the Trump administration's foreign policy, like tariffs, to impacts on the district where the bourbon and horse industries are big economic drivers.

Dembo also has a long record of service. He taught English through the Teach for America program, was an officer in the Navy Corps, and a federal prosecutor. In 2020, he joined Governor Andy Beshear's administration as a policy advisor and legislative director, who won the district by 20 points in 2023. Dembo resigned as a federal prosecutor in 2025 due to the Trump administration's weaponization of the Department of Justice.

Zach is running largely on a message of lowering costs and corruption. His opponent is Ralph Alvarado, who was the former running mate of disgraced ex-Governor Matt Bevin and embroiled in corruption scandals in low-rated nursing homes where he served as Medical Director. If anyone can flip this seat, it's Zach Dembo.

She will continue to protect and defend the right to vote, the Constitution, the rule of law, and much more in North Carolina.

Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan is a Democrat running to represent Minnesota in the U.S. Senate.

Peggy was raised by a hardworking single mom who relied on Section 8, SNAP, and Medicaid to make ends meet. She knows the power of government that actually serves people.

Peggy served as the executive director of the Children's Defense Fund–Minnesota, where she co-chaired the Raise the Wage Coalition, successfully pushing to raise Minnesota's minimum wage for the first time in a decade.

In 2015, Flanagan was elected to the Minnesota state legislature. In 2017, when her party was in the minority, Peggy was one of only two DFLers to successfully co-author a bill that became law. Flanagan was elected Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota in 2018. As lieutenant governor, she helped pass paid and family medical leave, a nation-leading child tax credit, and free school meals in public schools.

Now, Peggy is running for Senate to stop Donald Trump from ransacking our government and making it harder for Minnesotans to get a fair shot. At a time when Washington is more rigged than ever, Peggy will be a Senator who has the guts to take on our toughest fights and win for Minnesota families.

Randy Villegas is an educator, activist, and proud son of immigrants. Raised in a working-class family in Kern, California, Randy knows firsthand the challenges that many Central Valley families face. His journey - from earning a PhD to teaching and organizing for change - has been rooted in one core belief: our government should work for everyone, not just the powerful few.

Randy was sworn in and appointed to be a trustee for the Visalia Unified Board of Education. He was then elected to his seat, becoming both the only Democrat and only Latino on the school board. In this increasingly competitive Trump +2 seat, Valadao has made himself more vulnerable by turning his back on the Valley, gutting the health care programs Randy grew up on, and putting party politics ahead of his constituents. With deep ties to his community and a lifelong commitment to justice and equity, Randy is running for Congress in California's 22nd District to bring bold, compassionate leadership to Washington.
