  • Senators up for re-election will remember if we do the following:

    1. If you have a dem senator, write to them and tell them that the leadership is out of touch with the demands of the moment
    2. If the blue incumbent in your state is retiring in 2026, run a progressive. Use this moment to draw real separation between the progressive and the establishment candidate. Make any contact between them and the democratic leadership toxic
    3. If the blue incumbent hasn’t condemned this and the democratic leadership, do the same as above.

    Democrats up for reelection in 2026

    • Colorado: John Hickenlooper
    • Delaware: Chris Coons
    • Georgia: Jon Ossoff
    • Illinois: Dick Durbin (Retiring)
    • Massachusetts: Ed Markey
    • Michigan: Gary Peters (Retiring)
    • Minnesota: Tina Smith (Retiring)
    • New Hampshire: Jeanne Shaheen (Retiring)
    • New Jersey: Cory Booker (Chair of Strategic Communications Committee)
    • New Mexico: Ben Ray Lujan
    • Oregon: Jeff Merkley
    • Rhode Island: Jack Reed
    • Virginia: Mark Warner

    Flipping the senate in 2026 seems unlikely, but transforming the democratic party must start now. Schumer is up for re-election in 2028, but he has to be removed from leadership now.
