June 2025 Fundraising update: $12.2K for the month, $218K for the cycle

Wed, 07/02/2025 - 9:26am

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 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 2.7x as much in June alone than I did in May 2021.

In terms of category breakout, so far this cycle I've raised:

  • U.S. Senate: $10,037
  • U.S. House: $83,706*
  • State Legislative: $69,957
  • Govs/AGs/SoS: $2,664
  • Courts: $24,514
  • State Dem Parties: $17,355
  • Other: $9,515**

*$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 July- August to look similar to May (perhaps $14K/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 3.9x as many clickthrus per post and 2.1x as much in donations per follower.
