If you’re just joining us, you can follow along with the complete 2026 Midterm Prayer Guide, with daily and weekly prayer focuses through Election Day and beyond.
September 27–October 3: Agriculture, Fundraising, and Competitive Districts
by Jensen Young
Bonus prayer: New Hampshire: The North Country Federated Republican Women in New Hampshire hold Soupfest this week in Conway. Pray for this event and for Republican women’s events across the country to be successful in helping Republicans be victorious and for the success of our NH GOP Candidates up and down the ballot, including Governor Kelly Ayotte, former and hopefully future US Senator John Sununu, and NH-01 Congressional candidate Anthony DiLorenzo.
September 27, 2026 — Louisiana Sugar Cane Festival: Today is the last day of the Sugar Cane Festival in New Iberia. Pray for its success and for farmers, agricultural workers, and rural voters to vote Republican in droves not only in Louisiana, but all over America.
September 28, 2026 — Bill Cassidy Voters: Today is Louisiana U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy‘s birthday. Pray for the 99,496 Louisiana voters who voted for him in May 2026 to vote Republican up and down the ticket in November and December here in Louisiana.
September 29, 2026 — Texas: The State Fair of Texas is underway in Dallas. Pray for Attorney General Ken Paxton in his U.S. Senate race, Governor Greg Abbott in his re-election, and Texas Republicans running for Congress, including Eric Flores in the critical 34th Congressional District and Carlos De La Cruz in the critical 35th District.
September 30, 2026 — Federal Fundraising Deadline: Today marks the end of the third-quarter federal fundraising period. Pray that Republicans running for federal office wherever you live, along with the National Republican Congressional Committee, have a strong finish to the quarter.
October 1, 2026 — JD Vance and 1st Districts: In 2024, Vice President JD Vance bested Minnesota Governor Tim Walz in their only debate. Pray for Vice President Vance‘s efforts to help Republicans across the country, including North Carolina 1st District Congressional candidate Laurie Buckhout and U.S. Congressman Nick LaLota of New York’s 1st District.
October 2, 2026 — The 2nd Districts: Pray for the 2nd Congressional District in your state. If you don’t have one, or want to pray for those that need prayer the most, we recommend Virginia’s 2nd with Congresswoman Jen Kiggans; New Mexico’s 2nd with Republican candidate Greg Cunningham; Joe Mitchell in Iowa’s 2nd; and Brinker Harding in Nebraska’s 2nd. Next week, on October 9, we’ll specifically cover Maine’s 2nd Congressional District.
October 3, 2026 — The 3rd Districts: Three challengers and two incumbents specifically need your prayers in various 3rd Congressional District races. Congressman Zach Nunn of Iowa and Congressman Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin, whom we prayed for last month, continue to need your prayers, along with Nevada’s Marty O’Donnell, New York’s Mike LiPetri, and Washington State’s John Braun.
Coming next: October 4–10, with education, Louisiana PSC races, Steve Scalise, Michael Whatley, Shreveport, Maine, and the U.S. Army.

Facts First. Even When They’re Inconvenient.
Some outlets or groups tell you what to think. Others have discovered there’s an easier way to build an audience: tell people exactly what they want to hear. We’ve chosen a harder path.
At Citizens for a New Louisiana, we start with the evidence — public records, financial disclosures, court filings, voting records, audits, and original documents — and follow it wherever it leads. Sometimes the facts confirm what we expected. Sometimes they surprise us. Sometimes they disappoint our friends. Either way, we publish them.
That approach doesn’t always produce the loudest headlines or the easiest fundraising. But over time, it produces something much more valuable: TRUST. If you value independent Louisiana journalism that puts evidence ahead of outrage and principle ahead of tribe, please help us continue the work.
