NRCC Adds Jim Desmond to MAGA Majority Program

April 27, 2026

WASHINGTON – The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) today announced Jim Desmond is being added to the 2026 MAGA Majority program.

“Jim Desmond is a proven leader who knows Californians are fed up with high prices, crime, and the failures of corrupt Sacramento Democrats. He’s ready to help House Republicans restore sanity, lower costs, and send Democrats into retreat in California.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez

The MAGA Majority is an NRCC program focused on supporting and elevating the next wave of America First candidates who will help expand the Republican House majority in 2026.

In addition to Jim Desmond, MAGA Majority candidates include:

  • Jay Feely (AZ-01) 
  • Kevin Lincoln (CA-13) 
  • Paul LePage (ME-02)
  • Aaron Flint (MT-01)
  • Laurie Buckhout (NC-01) 
  • Brinker Harding (NE-02)
  • Greg Cunningham (NM-02)
  • Carrie Buck (NV-01) 
  • Marty O’Donnell (NV-03)
  • Mike LiPetri (NY-03) 
  • Peter Oberacker (NY-19) 
  • Eric Conroy (OH-01)
  • Tano Tijerina (TX-28) 
  • Eric Flores (TX-34)  
  • John Braun (WA-03)

Background:

  • Jim Desmond is a San Diego County Supervisor, a U.S. Navy veteran, a former mayor, and a former small business owner who is standing up to help working families.
  • Desmond ended the first quarter of 2026 with 1,064,355.84 cash on hand, more than both Ammar Campa-Najjar and Marni von Wilpert combined. 
  • The MAGA Majority program highlights a slate of strong candidates running in key battleground districts across the country who embody the Trump agenda: securing the border, lowering costs, restoring energy dominance, and putting American workers first. 
  • The NRCC will provide MAGA Majority candidates with early support, strategic resources, and visibility as Republicans expand the map and go on offense in districts where Democrats are vulnerable.
  • With over a dozen Democrats currently sitting in Trump-won seats, the battlefield is already favorable for Republicans, and the MAGA Majority is designed to capitalize on that opportunity.
  • MAGA Majority is the new name for the NRCC’s long-time Young Guns program.
