We're now past the halfway mark of the 2025-2026 election cycle.
So far I've raised 4.3x as much for Democrats as I had at the same point 4 years ago...and 2.5x as much as I had at this point 2 years ago!
In November 2025 specifically, I raised nearly twice as much as November 2021 and 15% more than Novembrer 2023 (remember, that was a POTUS cycle).
In terms of category breakout, so far this cycle I've raised:
- U.S. Senate: $31,499 (5.8%)
- U.S. House: $120,962 (22.4%)
- State Legislative: $278,789 (51.5%)
- State Executives*: $22,358 (4.5%)
- Courts: $40,006 (7.4%)
- State Dem Parties: $42,409 (7.8%)
- Local/Other: $2,983 (0.6%)
*NOTE: State Executives mostly includes Governors, Lt. Governors, Attorneys General, Secretaries of State, but it also includes any other state executive office such as state Treasurers, Auditors, Comptrollers, Public Service Commissioners, School Boards, etc.
As expected, the pace dropped off substantially after the November 2025 general election, and I expect it to remain fairly slow through the holiday season. After that, however, I expect things to ramp up again as we head into the Midterms proper.
As for social media engagement, nothing new under the sun: Every platform outperformed Twitter again in both visits and funds raised on a per-follower basis:
