Progressive Congress aggregates and organizes endorsement data from leading progressive organizations to help voters identify candidates who champion bold, transformative policies. We track the wisdom of the many progressive organizations out there and highlight the best candidates we have for 2026. Our data is updated regularly throughout the election cycle as new endorsements are announced. We hope you'll learn a bit about the many women and men putting themselves on the line to take the first steps to fix our broken USA.

Early support is the best way to get these progressives elected! This site exists to make it easier to find and support candidates working to build a government that serves working people, not wealthy donors.

What is a Progressive Candidate?

People who are truly progressive generally stick to most of these principles. While the MAGAs and even the corporate-controlled Democrats will paint these as being "radical left", the reality is the most Democrats, and most Americans overall, agree with them!

While we'd hope that the candidates here would agree with all of these principles, we can't guarantee that. But remember — on election day, ultimately it comes down to who is the best candidate actually running of the choices you have, not who is the perfect candidate. And don't forget — in the primary election season, we are choosing the candidates who will go up against the MAGA Republicans, so there's no worry about "vote splitting" to have Democrats competing against each other before November.

Progressive Principles are Mainstream

Rejection of corporate money, especially corporate PACs and foreign lobbyists like AIPAC; End Citizens United
72% of Americansbelieve money has too much influence in politics. 78% of Democratssupport banning corporate PAC donations. 85% of Democrats and 66% of Republicanssupport overturning Citizens United.

69% of Americanssupport Medicare for All, including 87% of Democrats!
Recognition of the genocides happening in the world, especially in Palestine
61% of Americanssupport a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. 77% of Democratssupport conditioning military aid to Israel on human rights compliance.
Taxing of the wealthy and corporations
79% of Americanssupport higher taxes on the wealthy, including 93% of Democrats and 64% of Republicans.
Support for affordability, unions, paid family leave, minimum wage increases, etc.
83% of Americanssupport paid family leave. 61%support raising the minimum wage to $15. 71%approve of labor unions.
Support for climate action and/or Green New Deal
67% of Americanssupport government action on climate change, including 90% of Democrats.
Support protections for women, racial minorities, and religious minorities
Over 70% of Americansback for civil rights extensions.More Americans want toabolish ICE than not.
Ending endless wars and imperialism
62% of Americans saythe U.S. should be less involved in global affairs. 69%oppose sending U.S. troops to fight in foreign conflicts.

A candidate might call him/herself "progressive" while taking money from corporations and AIPAC, so judge candidates by what they do and who funds them, not just what they say. And we need more than just pushing back against Trump and MAGA — progressive principles demand action, not reaction. For instance, while we can appreciate Gavin Newsom's trolling of Trump Tweets, and Cory Booker's filibuster, those people do not actually hold progressive principles.
