Who controls Congress matters.

Who controls Congress matters. Every two years, Americans elect all 435 members of the House of Representatives and one-third of the United States Senate. Those elections determine which party holds the majority. The majority decides which bills move forward, who chairs congressional committees, what receives oversight, and much of Congress's legislative agenda. This infographic explains where Congress stands today and what the path to a Democratic majority would look like after the 2026 elections. An informed voter is a stronger voter. Understanding how Congress works is the first step toward making your voice heard at the ballot box.
