ACU Caucus 2026: Attendees Hears How Voter Concerns, Midterms Could Reshape Washington
By CU Today Staff —
WASHINGTON--The midterm elections will determine if there’s a change in party control in the House, the Senate, or both, while President Donald Trump finishes the last two years of his second term. With the outcome extremely consequential to credit unions, attendees at Congressional Caucus 2026 heard Monday from President of Impact Research and seasoned pollster Molly Murphy on what the polls say as the general election nears.
Murphy presented data to illustrate the political landscape of today, what concerns are resonating with voters, and how the campaigns underway are shaped by both. With affordability emerging as the key issue impacting the election, credit unions have a unique opportunity to demonstrate the value in their not-for-profit, member-first model, which continuously delivers measurable value for the communities they serve.
Murphy outlined key races she will be monitoring this November and detailed her thoughts on how the upcoming midterms may impact the 2028 presidential election.
Following her remarks, America’s Credit Unions Head of Political Affairs Trey Hawkins joined Murphy on stage for a Q&A session with the audience.
