Moderate Democratic Group Backs New Candidates in Key Congressional Races, Including Chaz Molder

by Tyler Spence, NOTAS, April 25, 2026 -The New Democrat Coalition is backing a slate of congressional candidates that it believes are primed to win in some of the most difficult races across the country in November’s midterms.

On Friday, the coalition of moderates announced a slate of six new endorsements for candidates whom it says are critical to Democrats winning a majority in the House of Representatives. ... 

Stanton said the caucus is looking for trusted community leaders regardless of whether they have political experience, which means they end up with candidates who have a diverse set of experiences. Some are doctors, armed service members, sheriffs, ministers or former TV broadcasters.

... The New Democrat Coalition looked for candidates in districts that expand the map for Democrats. According to a list shared with NOTUS, the new candidates getting endorsements are Chaz Molder, Sean McCann, Jamie Ager, Jessica Killin, Donna Miller and Johnny Garcia.

“It was not an easy decision,” Molder, a Democrat running in Tennessee’s 5th Congressional District who received one of the new endorsements, told NOTUS of his decision to run. “We need to put forward leaders who are willing to be solutions-oriented and pragmatic and bring people together and build coalitions instead of drive people apart.” (link)
