So far for the 2025-2026 cycle I've raised a stunning 3.3x as much for Democrats as I had at the same point 4 years ago...and 3.4x as much as I had at this point 2 years ago.
In spite of the pace dropping off dramatically now that the high-profile special elections in Florida & Wisconsin are behind us, I still raised 3.2x as much in July alone than I did in May 2021.
In terms of category breakout, so far this cycle I've raised:
- U.S. Senate: $11,613
- U.S. House: $88,114*
- State Legislative: $79,162
- Govs/AGs/SoS: $3,132
- Courts: $25,650
- State Dem Parties: $20,550
- Other: $9,706**
*$55.4K of this was for the FL-01 & FL-06 special elections
**Most of this was for the WI Superintendent of Public Instruction special election
Going forward, assuming things play out similarly to how they did during the last midterm cycle (2021-2022), I'd expect August to look similar to July (perhaps $20K/month or so), followed by things spiking somewhat in September & October ahead of the Virginia & New Jersey gubernatorial/state legislative races.
After that we'll be into the 2026 Midterm season proper and all bets are off.
Here's what the breakout looks like so far:
As for social media engagement, as you can see, on a per-follower basis, every other platform continues to kick Twitter/X's ass, with BlueSky generating 6x as many clickthrus per post and 2.4x as much in donations per follower.
For the cycle so far, BlueSky has generated 5.4x as many clickthrus and 2.2x as much raised per follower:
