It has become commonplace for people to claim that each election is the most important one of our lifetimes. But there is a case to be made that that really is the case in 2026. We’ll review where things are and offer tips on what to pay attention to on and after Election Day. Control of the US House and Senate is up for grabs, along with control of many state legislature and a host of state and local offices, many of which have profound influence on the lives of our clients and communities. We’ll review these elections, and help you think about what social workers might do to find meaningful engagement.
