Background:

  • Captain Mike Bouchard served in both the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions, including missions to both the southern border and Iraq. He earned a Bronze Star as a member of a joint task force in the global fight against ISIS.
  • 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.
