EMILY’s List unveils House targets
EMILY’s List, a political action committee backing abortion rights, on Wednesday unveiled a list of House Republicans it is looking to help unseat in the 2026 midterm elections.
“In 2026, we must take back the majority in the U.S. House to create a federal check on Donald Trump and beat back GOP attacks on our rights and our livelihoods,” Jessica Mackler, the president of the organization, said in a statement.
“Democratic pro-choice women will be at the heart of the fight for the majority by flipping competitive seats across the country. House Republicans beware; we are coming for your seats,” the statement continues
Names on the 46-person list include Republican Reps. Mike Lawler (N.Y.), Nancy Mace (S.C.), Don Bacon (Neb.), Max Miller (Ohio) and Michael Baumgartner (Wash.).
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) also recently put forth a list of 26 at-risk House Democrats it plans to target in the midterms, including Reps. Jared Moskowitz (Fla.) and Derek Tran (Calif.).
“House Republicans are working in lockstep to advance the Trump-Musk agenda and people all across the country are feeling the pain,” Mackler said in the statement, referring to the president and his adviser Elon Musk.
Cook Political Report, an election handicapper, rated 10 Democratic seats and eight Republican ones as toss-ups ahead of next year’s elections.
“Though their majority is dangerously thin, in some ways, Republicans are starting out in a stronger position than they were in 2018. Trump’s latest victory was broad; he clawed back ground in suburbs that had lurched to the left since 2016 and made massive inroads in urban areas,” Cook Political Report’s Erin Covey and Matthew Klein said last month.
The Hill has reached out to the NRCC for comment.
