Democratic Atlas: U.S. House Election 2026

P06

Federal zoning push

Use federal policy to loosen local zoning and land-use rules so more housing gets built.

Support, oppose, and no stated position across tracked Democratic House candidates. Counts are candidates, not districts. Only fact-checked answers enter those three buckets. A missing cosponsorship is not an absence — candidates we have not statement-researched yet show as not yet researched and stay out of the share.

Preview only. Production publish waits on Peter. Mixed and unclear stay separate from oppose. No stated position means a checked statement absence only — never a missing cosponsorship — and is never counted as opposition.
