HELP DEMOCRACY.
In 2026, we are leveling up our fight to elect democrats.
Florida Blue PC is launching Project 140, an initiative with the simple goal of recruiting, training, and supporting democratic candidates in all 140 State Legislature districts up for grabs in 2026.
No democrats on your ballot? Why not you?
Since 2020, Florida Blue/Project 140 has helped hundreds of democrats get qualified to run for office and hit the ground running. Are you ready to run for state legislature? Click here to get started.
MISSION STATEMENT
Blue Florida’s Project 140 launched in 2020 with one simple mission; recruit Democrats to run in every single Florida House and Senate district up for election.
Too many Florida legislative districts still go uncontested or heavily favor one party, making it incredibly difficult to build momentum and long-term competitive power. Project 140 is here to change that by recruiting, training, and equipping Democrats to run in every district, so voters in every community have a real choice on their ballot; every seat, no gaps.
We don’t wait for “perfect” candidates. We find trailblazers who care about their communities and give them the tools to run credible campaigns, from ballot access and compliance to messaging, digital presence, and fundraising basics. And here’s the twist; we know winning in many districts might be a tall order, but that doesn’t mean running doesn’t matter. We help candidates run tough races and lose with class—build name recognition, sharpen skills, grow networks, and turn what looks like an uphill battle into real momentum for next time.
Blue Florida PC has been building this pipeline since 2020. In the 2020 cycle, we recruited 36 Democratic candidates across the state, filling all but one legislative seat. In 2024, we expanded that work by recruiting more than 50 candidates and raising funds to help them qualify for the ballot and launch viable campaigns.
In 2026, Project 140 is leveling up. We’re recruiting earlier, training harder, and supporting smarter, especially in districts where the baseline playing field is tilted and traditional approaches just don’t cut it. The goal is simple; build a stronger Democratic bench for the Florida Legislature and make sure no community is left without a candidate on their ballot.
If you’re tired of seeing your district go uncontested, good.
If you’ve ever thought, “Someone should run here,” even better.
We’re here to ask one simple question; why not you?
Get involved with Project 140 by contributing monthly, following our work, or stepping up to run for the Florida Legislature.
We have the playbook for running. You bring the guts to run.
