# Ready for the Fight PAC A political action committee announced on **8 September 2026** and chaired by Illinois governor [[J.B. Pritzker]], committing **at least $20 million** to Democratic House candidates in the [[2026 Midterm Elections]]. The name is the phrase Pritzker uses to close his political speeches. Its stated niche is races the national committees deprioritize — "often-overlooked races," in Pritzker's framing — rather than the standard tier of battlegrounds. Early ad reservations name Rep. [[Max Miller]] of Ohio and Texas candidate Brandon Herrera, running in districts [[Donald Trump]] carried by 11 and 15 points respectively, which is a longer reach than a returns-maximizing map would choose. It is the fourth governor-run national PAC of the cycle, alongside [[Gavin Newsom]]'s Campaign for Democracy, [[Gretchen Whitmer]]'s Fight Like Hell and [[Andy Beshear]]'s In This Together. All four raise national name identification for their principals ahead of 2028 while spending on 2026; the vault records the dual function rather than choosing between the two readings. ## See Also - [[J.B.
