EMILYs List Women Flip the U.S. House

November 3, 2026

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WASHINGTON, D.C. – EMILYs List women have once again delivered the U.S. House majority for Democrats, flipping enough seats across the map to take back control of the chamber. EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler released the following statement: 

“Once again, with the future of our country on the line, Democratic women have delivered the House majority. Just as they did in 2018, EMILYs List women spearheaded the fight to flip Republican seats all across the battlefield — from the most competitive districts in the country to deeper red territories that have eluded Democrats for years. In the most consequential midterm election of our lifetimes, women again proved to be our party’s strongest path to taking back power.” 

EMILYs List’s Mission Majority initiative put Democratic women at the center of an aggressive strategy to flip the U.S. House and reclaim the majority. EMILYs List led the effort to expand the battleground map, backing 26 Majority Makers in key competitive districts and tougher Republican-held terrain where strong women candidates could deliver the seats Democrats needed to win the House. We built that strategy by providing strategic guidance, critical resources, and targeted fundraising and communications support to help candidates compete and win.
