These four women will flip key seats
The path to Democrats winning in November and establishing an essential check on this White House is flipping seats and states from red to blue. Today, we are announcing four new JDCA endorsements. All four women are running in key races that Democrats can and must flip in November.

Rep. Mary Peltola is running for Senate in Alaska. Peltola served as Alaska’s at-large member of Congress from 2022 to 2025 and was the first Alaska Native to serve in Congress. Alaska’s Senate seat is a key race for Democrats to flip in 2026 in order to take back the Senate, and Peltola can win in November.
Dr. Amy Acton is a Jewish Democrat running for governor of Ohio. Acton led Ohio through the COVID-19 pandemic as Director of the Ohio Department of Health. She’s ahead in the polls against Vivek Ramaswamy, an extremist and Trump loyalist. This is another critical flip for Democrats at the state level.
JoAnna Mendoza is running to represent Arizona’s 6th Congressional District, a key purple district narrowly won by a Republican in 2024. Mendoza is a proud mom, lifelong public servant, and retired U.S. Marine who has always answered the call to serve, and she’s well-positioned to flip this critical seat from red to blue.
Rebecca Cooke was born and raised on a Wisconsin dairy farm and is a small business and nonprofit leader fighting for lower costs. Cooke is running to represent Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District – a rematch in a race she narrowly lost in 2024, and can also flip from red to blue.
The road to taking back control of the House, the Senate, and key statewide offices runs through these flips. JDCA PAC’s portal is your opportunity to support the candidates who share our values and ensure they win in November.
Thank you for your partnership and support.
In solidarity,
