Veterans, firefighters, sheriffs, doctors, journalists and a Grammy-winning musician make up the second list “Red to Blue” (“Red t or Blue”, in English) with which the Democrats seek to gain positions from the Republicans in Congress in the November election.

This is an expansion of the list presented in February by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC).

“The DCCC announced eight new top candidates added to its highly competitive ‘Red to Blue’ program […] for the 2026 election cycle,” the DCCC indicated. “This latest group of candidates data will receive strategic guidance, staff resources, training and fundraising support, to ensure that they are in the best possible position to win in November.”

The list included the singer Bobby Pulido, who is competing for the 15th District of Texas and facing the Republican Mónica de la Cruz.

“As the American people reject the disastrous high price agenda of the House Republicans, the House Democrats have the momentum to reclaim the majority,” the president considered a del DCCC, Suzan DelBene. “These latest additions to our Red to Blue programme represent the strength of our people-focused message and the broad appeal of our top candidates.”

The Democrats campaign focuses on the economy in the U.S., something that the listed candidates will continue to focus on.

In addition to Pulido, the list includes Marlene Galán-Woods (Arizona-01), who was a journalist and is a single mother of five children.

“As a first-generation Cuban-American, Marlene's parents fled communist Cuba in search of a better life,” it is highlighted.

Also there is Dr. Jasmeet Bains (California-22), who would run against Republican David Valadao.
