When I started my Dem fundraising project for the 2024 cycle, I took a pessimistic view, figuring that between the massive engagement drop on Twitter since Musk took over & other factors, I'd only raise perhaps 2/3 as much as I did in 2020.

Instead, *so far* I've raised 70% MORE!

While my overall fundraising is up 70% vs. the same point in 2020, the *distribution* of that fundraising is very different.

At this point in 2020, only 9% of what I'd raised was for STATE LEGISLATIVE races.

So far this cycle state leg races make up *41%* of the (larger) total!

This graph makes it clear how dramatic the difference is.

So far, my fundraising for U.S. Senate & U.S. House races are similar to where they were at in 2020...

...but I've raised over *7.4x as much* for STATE LEGISLATIVE races so far!

More good news:

While my U.S. Senate fundraising is still down 7% *overall* vs. the same point in 2020, if you break it out between COMPETITIVE vs. LONGSHOT races it's a very different story: I've actually raised 40% *more* for the 10 *competitive* Senate seats so far!

I've also raised more for other races so far (POTUS, Gov/AG/SOS) & other oddball orgs (Voters of Tomorrow, etc), but those are fairly nominal & are measured against almost nothing in 2020. Plus, I've *stopped* raising money for President Biden since he doesn't need my help.

📣 REMINDER: I DON'T RECEIVE ONE DIME of what I'm raising for Democrats this cycle; it all goes directly to the campaigns (aside from ActBlue's normal fee).

However, if you'd like to chip in a few bucks to support *me* for my efforts, you can do so here:
