Ten Dems

Site last updated: June 29, 2022 - updated often

The aim of this website is to provide the most effective donating and volunteering options to help Democrats retain control of the U.S. Senate & House in 2022 – where your money and time are likely to make the greatest difference.

1. List of super-priority candidates for donations & volunteering now

Below are the super-priority candidates, who meet all 4 of the following criteria:

According to experts, they are in the closest races: the race is expected to be within 1 or 2 percentage points.
Their states have completed redistricting.
They are not in a competitive Democratic primary.
They most need donations now.

TEN DEMS SUPER-PRIORITY LIST - June 2022

(click links for candidate profile, why race is expected to be close, and how to donate or volunteer)

SENATE SUPER-PRIORITY LIST

Catherine Cortez Masto (NV)
John Fetterman (PA)

HOUSE SUPER-PRIORITY LIST

NOTE: Our priority lists are provisional because in a few states redistricting is being challenged in courts, and we are awaiting some primaries.

2. Supplementary list of candidates for donations & volunteering now

The following candidates meet most of the criteria listed in point 1 above: very close races within 1 or 2 percentage points, redistricting completed, no competitive primary. They also need donations and volunteers. The only difference is that the 10 super-priority candidates in point 1 have an even more pressing need of donations right now. Our super-priority list in point 1 will always be limited to 10 candidates, which makes for difficult decisions each month, after talking with experts. We hope that those who donate to, or volunteer for, the 10 super-priority candidates will also consider doing the same for the following candidates, insofar as their resources and time permit.
