Make Ayanna Pressley Speaker of the House

No. This is an independent grassroots coalition. It isn't affiliated with or authorized by Rep. Pressley, her office or her campaign.

The Constitution says the House chooses its own Speaker. Members vote, not the public, so it comes down to what representatives hear from the people they serve.

1. Each party picks its candidate. After the November election, House Democrats meet as the Democratic Caucus and vote by secret ballot on who they'll back for Speaker. Republicans do the same in their own conference.
2. The full House votes. On the first day of the new Congress (January 3, 2027, unless Congress sets a different date), each member says a name out loud in a roll-call vote. The winner needs a majority of the members who vote for someone by name. With all 435 seats filled and everyone voting, that's 218.
3. If no one gets a majority, they vote again. Rounds continue until someone does. In January 2023 it took 15.

That’s why calls matter now. Staff tally every call, and members notice when their own constituents speak up.

If you sign up to volunteer, your details go to the coalition’s organizers through Google Forms and are used only to reach you about this effort. They are never sold or shared. The site counts visits and button taps with Google Analytics, which sets cookies, and Cloudflare Web Analytics, which doesn’t. We only look at totals, like how many people tapped the petition button, never at who you are.

This effort is organized by a coalition of former congressional candidates, longtime political strategists, activists and grassroots organizers with decades of experience in progressive politics across thousands of campaigns, including many of the wins in the 2026 Midterm Blue Wave.
