As of October 15th, 2026, I've raised 77% more for Democrats as I had at the same point 4 years ago ($1.88 million vs. $1.06 million).
In terms of category breakout, so far this cycle I've raised:

-
TOTAL: $1,880,953
*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 ~$1.88 MILLION I've raised so far consists of ~166,000 individual donations averaging just $11.34 apiece (admittedly, most of those were in the form of larger donations split among multiple candidates).
It's gone directly to over 3,200 different Democratic candidates (along with several dozen state & local parties), averaging around $580 apiece:
- 701 candidates have received $1 - $10 apiece
- 514 have received $10 - $25 apiece
- 327 have received $10 - $50 apiece
- 404 have received $50 - $100 apiece
- 384 have received $100 - $250 apiece
- 352 have received $250 - $500 apiece
- 235 have received $500 - $1,000 apiece
- 229 have received $1,000 - $2,500 apiece
- 103 have received $2,500 - $5,000 apiece
- 52 have received $5,000 - $10,000 apiece
- 19 have received $10,000 - $25,000 apiece
-
7 have received more than $25,000:
- Mary Peltola: $38,573
- Sherrod Brown: $37,724
- James Talarico: $34,571
- Josh Weil (FL-06 special, 2025): $30,512
- Abdul El-Sayed: $29,647
- Josh Turek: $29,215
- Troy Jackson: $27,354
I've also broken out my U.S. SENATE fundraising totals to date by candidate:
- The ten Top Tier Races average ~$27.9K apiece
- The six 2nd Tier Races average ~$16.4K apiece
- The ten 3rd Tier Races average ~$4.8K apiece, although it's actually ~$5.3K apiece since Todd Achilles (Idaho) doesn't use ActBlue for online fundraising so I can't raise anything for him.
- There has also been another ~$11.8K donated to various candidates who either dropped out or lost their primaries, and another ~$8K to candidates who aren't even running this cycle (this is due to donors who have recurring monthly donations set up from prior cycles).
