I'm just a concerned American citizen doing what I can to help save democracy, decency and the planet by electing as many Democratic candidates as possible at the federal, statewide & especially local (state legislative) levels.
This is not a PAC, it's just a site with links to ActBlue pages where you can donate directly to one, two or dozens of Dems running for office at once. All funds go to the campaigns listed; I receive nothing.

In addition, reality finally set in when comparing Presidential and midterm cycles: My 2026 cycle fundraising total also fell behind the $1.12 million I had raised as of the same point in ...
