DCCC Makes Historic Investments to Engage Key Voters and Build a Winning Coalition to win a House Majority

Hi all -- it’s Brooke Butler! As the DCCC’s National Political Director, I lead our team in shaping our political strategy and organizing efforts to take back the House this November, which is why I am so thrilled to hop on here and share with you one of our top investments this cycle: Our Power, Our Country.

Democrats know that taking back the House is a team effort that requires engaging with every single voter. That’s why we launched Our Power, Our Country -- an eight-figure investment to intentionally target and mobilize AANHPI, Black, Latino, and rural communities across America who are an essential part of this movement to take back the House.

This historic effort means massive investments in:

• Research and polling to better understand the important issues across communities.

• Coalition building with local leaders and members of the community to drive outreach and engagement.

• Launching compelling ads on TV and online that speak authentically to communities in their language of choice.

We know that to truly connect with voters, we have to meet people where they are. That’s why we’re spending intentional time and resources understanding what matters most, meeting with community members on the ground, and making the Democratic vision accessible to all who encompass it.

Short answer: Yes.

In 2024, Democrats outran the top of the ticket in numerous races nationwide. Control of the House was decided by just 7,309 votes across three congressional districts -- leaving Republicans with one of the smallest House majorities in history.

Let’s look at two races where Democrats won and flipped two seats from red to blue despite the Trump headwinds last cycle: CA-45 and CA-47. In both of these races, Democrats made major investments in on-the-ground organizing and deployed multilingual, culturally competent ads.

Today, Reps. Derek Tran (CA-45) and Dave Min (CA-47) proudly serve their communities in the House.

We’re building on this success today with Our Power, Our Country. One of our first initiatives after the 2024 election was investing in Asian American voters in California with ads in languages such as Korean, Chinese, and Vietnamese.

Today, our efforts have expanded to include on-the-ground organizing and targeted messaging in places like the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas, rural communities in Northwest Ohio and the suburbs of Detroit -- the diverse communities that will determine the fate of the House majority in November.

As the DCCC’s Political Director, I have to say “we don’t have the budget for that” more times than I can count -- which is pretty frustrating, because there’s a LOT MORE we can be doing to compete for and win battleground districts across the country.

Even worse, recent reports prove that a Trump-controlled Super PAC has $400 million in the bank. That’s a lot of money, and if his goons decide to dump their war chest into holding onto the House, we’re going to wish we had more resources to fight back.

Here’s the good news: Democrats don’t NEED to match them dollar for dollar to defeat this laughably unpopular president or his Rubber-Stamp MAGA stooges across the country. But we do need more cash, and we need it before we get any closer to Election Day.

We’re leaving no voter behind and no stone unturned in our efforts to flip the House Majority. But to fund Our Power, Our Country and combat the millions of dollars Republicans are pouring into bad-faith tactics against us, we rely on grassroots donations from supporters like you. If you can, please chip in to help power our investment in these critical communities as we put all our efforts into taking back the House.

Help Take Back The House

Thank you for being in the fight with us,

Brooke Butler, National Political Director for the DCCC
