Nebraska's candidate filing deadline passed yesterday, so I've gone ahead and overhauled the NE fundraising page. Nebraska is unique in that it's the only unicameral state (ie, they only have a state Senate, no state House). In addition, only...

Four years ago, at the end of February 2020, I had raised a total of just over $200,000 for Democrats up & down the ballot, broken out as follows;

• U.S. Senate Seats: $118,340 (59.0%)
• U.S. House Seats: $59,575 (29.7%)
• State Execs (Gov/AG/SoS): $942 (0.5%)
• State Legislative Seats: $20,466 (10.2

I've added three more races to the Special Elections fundraising page; all three are in deep red territory, but again, special elections often have very unusual turnout patterns so you never know:

• April 23rd: PA HD-139 (R+27): Democratic nominee not known yet
• May

Pennsylvania's candidate filing deadline passed yesterday, so I've gone ahead and updated my PA Legislature fundraising page to include 35 Democratic candidates: 32 for state House & 3 for state Senate. Only three of them have a contested primary, so I've been able to fill in 35 presumptive nominees. Of those, 22 have active ActBlue pages as of...

With the Feb. 13th Special Elections behind us, I've removed all four of them (Tom Suozzi for NY-03 plus 3 state legislative candidates) and have moved the rest of the races up, as well as adding several new ones coming up later this spring. I've also removed one state legislative race due to there being...

It turns out that Utah's candidate filing deadline was over a month ago, on January 8th, so I've gone ahead and filled in the competitive state legislative candidates for districts which only have one Democrat running.

Seven of the 11 candidates listed are incumbents running for re-election (*). Two of the districts have competitive...

Indiana's candidate filing deadline was yesterday. Now that it has passed, I've gone ahead and filled in the competitive state legislative candidates for districts which only have one Democrat running, thus meaning they're the presumptive nominee unless there's some dramatic development between now and November. 

As it happens, only one...

Three updates to my U.S. House page today:

• Filled MI-08: I've decided to endorse state Senator Kristen McDonald Rivet

Prior to being elected to the Senate, she served as executive director of the Michigan Head Start Association, vice president of Michigan Future, Inc., and president/CEO of Greater

Thanks in large part to a new analysis of the various Attorneys General & Secretaries of State races from Louis Jacobson of Sabato's Crystal Ball, along with some other candidate research I've been doing, I've gone ahead and filled in seven more of the Gov, AG & SoS races on my...

Now that I've added a blog to the site I decided to post monthly analysis updates showing the latest fundraising progress by various criteria.

All of 2023:

For the 2023 -2024 cycle, I ended 2023 having raised just over $220,000. Around half of this went to (successfully) help Virginia legislative candidates in their 2023 election; they ended up  keeping control of the state Senate and flipping...
