Senate Circle seeks to connect donors with a multi-year, state-based strategy for a U.S. Senate majority that promotes strong and sustainable economic growth; protects democracy and freedom here and abroad; advocates for a clean environment; and addresses social inequities.

In 2026, we must win at least one of these states if we are to have a durable majority in the US Senate.

The tipping point will be determined by one (or all) of these three states: ALASKA, IOWA, NEBRASKA. Because our focus has always been on races where we believe our dollars can have the greatest impact, our fight for these states is about ensuring that they do not get too little money, too late.

The best-known, most-likely-to-flip, and well-funded states are Maine, North Carolina, and Ohio. But winning all of those states would only bring the count in the Senate to 50-50, and for a durable majority we need at least one more.That is precisely why our focus is on investing early and often across this portfolio of smaller, lower-cost states.

One (or all) of these three states—Alaska, Iowa, Nebraska—will ultimately make the difference between winning and losing the US Senate.
