In response to Democrats flipping control of the U.S. House of Representatives, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:
“Democrats spent the last year laser-focused on talking to our neighbors, registering voters, and organizing on the ground in every part of the country. Tonight, we can see the results: We have flipped seats from red to blue and taken back the majority in the House of Representatives. Congratulations to our candidates, our state Democratic parties, and every American who put in the hard work to elect proven champions for working families. With Democrats back in control of the House, we will fight to lower the cost of groceries and gas, expand access to healthcare, make housing and childcare more affordable, bring down the price of utilities, put an end to Republicans’ rampant corruption, rein in the cruel Trump administration, protect our communities, and put our nation on a path to a stronger future.”
