Summary

The Democratic Association of Secretaries of State plans to spend $40 million on competitive 2026 races to secure election oversight before the 2028 presidential election.

Targeting swing states and states like Iowa, Kansas, and Ohio, the group aims to defend Democratic-held positions and challenge Republican incumbents.

The effort, described as the group’s “most aggressive” to date, reflects concerns over Republican attempts to influence election outcomes.

Democrats aim to build early groundwork to counter GOP messaging and maintain control of key election administration roles.
