2026: HOW WE WIN BACK HOUSE & SENATE
Help Win Elections!
Indivisible Yolo ‘s 2026 electoral priorities are to hold MAGA accountable/stop Trump. To do so, we must win back the House and the Senate in November. Our electoral strategy team has identified the best opportunities for Yolo activists to make the difference, prioritizing opportunities to flip House and Senate seat and creating pathways for activist/volunteers to optimize their time and resources for highest impact. These elections will be won based on voter turnout — if we successfully turn out our voters, we will win.
House Priority Race: Canvassing, phone banking and fundraising for Randy Villegas to flip CD-22.
Senate Priority Race: Phone banking and fundraising for Mary Peltola to flip the Senate seat in Alaska.
Local Priority Race: Supporting Richard Pan to deny erstwhile Republican Kevin Kiley’s attempt to remain in Congress by winning CD-6.
Protect Voting Rights: Vigorously work to defeat the Republican-led voter suppression ballot initiative, Prop 39.
Registering New Voters: Adding to our majorities by registering Democrats the Field Team 6 way.
Together, these are our priority initiatives in this critical election season. We may add other races and ballot propositions as our volunteer resources become available.
Canvassing
Canvassing is the best way to reach people and turn out the vote. Whether it’s local or out of district, canvassing is where it’s at. The Walk Team will be knocking on doors to talk to voters in critical California congressional districts. If you’ve never tried it, come with us – we’ll make it fun and you’ll get a walk in, too! 2026 is all about voter turnout and canvassing is the most effective means to do so — as much as a 9% increase in voting.
Voter registration is also an important as we also need to expand our pool of voters. We are organizing voter registration events at some of the local and Central Valley college campuses, strategically chosen in line with IY's electoral plan. Getting students to register to vote, for the first time, is setting them up for lifelong voting.
Phone Banking
Phone Banking creates personal connections that make a difference. Calling voters is the next best thing to meeting them in person. If you can’t canvass, you can join with fellow volunteers on our Call Team to call targeted voters in our Zoom-based phone banks. The impact to voter turnout can be significant — 2% and that’s huge in these highly competitive races (Adam Gray won CD-13 by 187 votes in 2024!).
You’ll be supported every step of the way with training on the tools, information on the candidates and new friends to work alongside.
Voter Registration
One key to winning big is growing our majority both locally and in competitive districts by registering new voters.
Registering voters the Field Team 6 way (see video) is both productive and fun.
If you are interested in joining the voter registration team or volunteering at a voter registration drive, please fill out the Volunteer Sign Up form and mark “voter registration” so we can contact you with the details.
Training is provided when you arrive on the day of the voter registration events.
