A major LGBTQ rights group is putting money behind efforts to turn out voters in swing districts and key battleground states in 2026 as Democrats feel bolder about their chances of retaking the House and possibly even the Senate.
The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) announced a $15m investment on Tuesday, split across eight key battleground House districts as well as several states with major Senate races and hotly contested ballot initiatives. The aim of the investment, HRC officials said, is to boost the number of LGBTQ members on Capitol Hill, defeating ballot initiatives aimed at scaling back LGBTQ rights, and backing pro-equality candidates in other races.
