As of the end of June, I've raised 2.9x as much for Democrats as I had at the same point 4 years ago...and 30% more as I had at this point 2 years ago!
In terms of category breakout, so far this cycle I've raised:
-
U.S. Senate: $116,386 (11.6%)
-
U.S. House: $241,941 (24.2%)
-
State Legislative: $444,479 (44.4%)
-
State Executives*: $58,895 (5.9%)
-
Courts: $55,809 (5.6%)
-
State Dem Parties: $80,130 (8.0%)
-
Local/Other: $3,188 (0.3%)
-
TOTAL: $1,000,829
*NOTE: State Executives includes Governors, Lt. Governors, Attorneys General & Secretaries of State as well as other state executive office such as Treasurers, Auditors, Comptrollers, Public Service Commissioners, School Boards, etc.
The ~1.0 MILLION I've raised so far consists of over 115,000 individual donations averaging just $8.64 apiece (admittedly, most of those were in the form of larger donations split among multiple candidates).
It's gone directly to ~2,400 different Democratic candidates (along with several dozen state & local parties), averaging around $400 apiece:
-
700 candidates have received $1 - $10 apiece
-
680 have received $10 - $50 apiece
-
325 have received $50 - $100 apiece
-
243 have received $100 - $250 apiece
-
197 have received $250 - $500 apiece
-
128 have received $500 - $1,000 apiece
-
129 have received $1,000 - $2,500 apiece
-
49 have received $2,500 - $5,000 apiece
-
51 have received $5,000 - $10,000 apiece
-
4 have received $10,000 - $25,000 apiece
-
1 has received more than $25,000
(Josh Weil, FL-06 special election received $30,512)
I've changed my social media engagement methodology; since I've solidly established that Bluesky (and other platforms) generate several times more engagement (click-thrus per follower) than Twitter, I'm going to focus purely on actual funds raised via each.
In June 2026, links posted to Bluesky generated 18% of total funds raised (the all-time high so far was actually 53% in January); overall Bluesky has generated 23% of everything I've raised for candidates to date.
Twitter/X generated 38% of the May funds but is still a distant second place overall at 11% of total donations.
The other four platforms combined (Threads, Mastodon, Spoutible & Daily Kos) generated a combined 4.6% of funds for the month, and 5.9% of the cumulative total.
