Open Seat & Challengers

Non-incumbent candidates worth working for scored an A- or better on our exhaustive candidate ideological questionnaire.

Incumbents

Incumbent candidates worth working for are candidates who have earned ProgressivePunch.org’s highest score — five stars — in the percentage of crucial lifetime votes in which the candidate sided with progressives. “Crucial” votes are votes in which there was strong progressive cohesion and at the same time a significant defection on the part of more conservative Democrats to the Republicans. The Crucial Votes % categories also include all roll call votes where the margin between yes votes and no votes was narrow and could have been changed by a small group of members voting differently.

Most of these progressive incumbents are in pretty good shape as of 1/6/14. Candidates who especially need our & your help in their election are in bold.
