The US House of Representatives is currently controlled by the Democrats, who have a 35-seat majority. Members of the House only serve for two years, however, before facing re-election. So the composition of the House can change very rapidly, unlike the Senate, where only one-third of Senators are up for election every two years, and once elected, they each serve for six years before facing re-election.
The House is solidly Democratic, but that doesn’t mean solidly progressive. About half of all House Democrats, give or take 100, belong to the Congressional Progressive Caucus, support the Green New Deal, Medicare for All and other key pieces of legislation essential for our survival.
These are Representatives who need our support. And more will join them every two years, until we have a solid majority of progressive Democrats in the House (and then in the Senate, and then in the White House…)
To find the progressive Representatives to support in 2020, go to your state and look for “House races”.
