As of the end of February, I've raised 3.7x as much for Democrats as I had at the same point 4 years ago...and over twice as much as I had at this point 2 years ago!
In February 2026 specifically, I raised 3.5x more than February 2022 and 80% more than February 2024.
In terms of category breakout, so far this cycle I've raised:
- U.S. Senate: $54,441 (8.3%)
- U.S. House: $138,548 (21.2%)
- State Legislative: $326,837 (50.0%)
- State Executives*: $29,516 (4.5%)
- Courts: $44,979 (6.9%)
- State Dem Parties: $56,319 (8.6%)
- Local/Other: $3,072 (0.5%)
*NOTE: State Executives includes Governors, Lt. Governors, Attorneys General & Secretaries of State as well as other state executive office such as Treasurers, Auditors, Comptrollers, Public Service Commissioners, School Boards, etc.
I'm changing my social media engagement methodology going forward; since I've solidly established that Bluesky (and other platforms) generate several times more engagement (clickthrus per follower) than Twitter, I'm going to focus purely on actual funds raised via each.
I'll add Threads, Mastodon & Spoutible back in the future (along with Daily Kos & possibly Substack) in future months; for now, here's Bluesky & Twitter:
