How
  • P
    Persuade
    930 voters who split their ticket in recent elections and lean Barragan today.
    +930
  • M
    Mobilize
    Few cities and unincorporated areas give Angel's side 55 percent or more, so turnout is a small lever here; the plan leans on persuasion instead.
    +0
  • C
    Consolidate
    Voters who went third party in recent races, in the closest places on the map.
    +163

Plus a national shift of 37.4 points of margin (44,982 votes) that no campaign controls.

What has to be true
  1. Angel wins 50 percent of the ticket splitters now leaning Barragan.
  2. It would take a national shift of about 37.4 points toward Angel's side, larger than any midterm swing in recent memory.
  3. No 2026 public poll exists for this race, so the starting line is a weighted blend of official recent results; the first real poll will move it.
