KEEP IT GOING! Donate to these races today (thread):

FIRST, yesterday we learned of a plot to kidnap & kill Gov. Whitmer, blow up the state capitol and murder police officers by right-wing domestic terrorists...while MI Republicans refuse to ban firearms at the capitol. Donate to these Michigan Dems today:

📣⚠️ CRUNCH TIME: Going forward, I'll mostly just promote my two "focused" fundraising pages (links at end of thread), but once a week I'll also tweet out all ~20 pages (~600 state & federal candidates).

If you've been waiting to donate, NOW is the time. 1/

MICHIGAN: In 2018 we flipped 5 House seats and need just 4 more to #FlipMIHouseBlue. Donate to these races today! I strongly recommend Julia Pulver, Kelly Breen, Nicole Breadon, Barb Anness, Jody LaMacchia & Abigail Wheeler: 2/ #DemCast #DemCastMI

📣 ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: $2.8 million raised to elect Democrats to replace Nazis.

(After Trump's statement declaring he has no intention of leaving office peacefully and that he wants legally-cast ballots thrown out, I no longer have the slightest compunction calling them that.)

LET'S KEEP IT GOING! There's only 40 days left, so donate to these races RIGHT NOW to #FlipTheSenate, #KeepTheHouseBlue, #ExpandTheBlueHouse & protect the POTUS results from an Electoral College failure:

📣 IT'S CRUNCH TIME! I've narrowed down the ~350 (!) STATE house/senate candidates I've been raising money for to just 60.

If Dems flip all of these w/out losing any blue seats, they'll flip *10* state legislative bodies at once. DONATE TODAY!
#DemCast secure.actblue.com/donate/final_s…

(To any candidate listed on my other pages but not this one: I'm still raising money for you as well, just not on this page! The individual state pages are still very active and will be right up through November 3rd!)

📣 I've also narrowed down the ~250 (!) FEDERAL house/senate candidates I've been raising money for to just 50. Help #FlipTheSenate, #KeepTheHouseBlue, #ExpandTheBlueHouse *and* defend the POTUS race from an Electoral College failure all at once!

📣 Right after the 2018 midterms, I decided to see if I could raise $250,000 by Nov. 3, 2020 to help elect Democratic candidates up & down the ticket. Minutes ago the total broke 10x that amount...with 43 days left to spare.

Let's keep it going! (THREAD) 1/

📣 First, here's a new page as a "one-stop shop" for *federal* races: Help #FlipTheSenate (10 seats), #KeepTheBlueHouse (14 seats) & #ExpandTheBlueHouse (26 seats) while also gaining the state Congressional delegation advantage in one shot!
secure.actblue.com/donate/final_f… 2/

📣 Since the death of #RBG, 90% of donations thru my pages have been to #FlipTheSenate. While I strongly advise focusing more on the 10 races above, I also have this page which includes *every* GOP-held seat (plus Doug Jones & Gary Peters, who need help):

⚠️📣 NEW! I've raised nearly $2.5 million for hundreds of candidates. In response to several requests, here's a new page for those who want to narrow their donations down (I'll explain below). Donate to these races TODAY! #BlueTsunami2020
secure.actblue.com/donate/final_f…

SENATE: I've deliberately avoided the "marquee races" which are receiving so much buzz (Kelly in AZ, Gideon in ME, McGrath in KY, etc.). They're flooded w/$ already. Instead, I'm focusing on "2nd tier" races which are very winnable but need the $ more.
secure.actblue.com/donate/final_f…

HOUSE: This page includes ~30 races (incumbents & challengers) which are rated "toss-ups" by the Cook Report, plus 10 which will be CRITICAL if the Presidential election gets thrown to the U.S. House (a real possibility this year!), like AK-AL, MT-AL, etc:

📣 OK, FOLKS: Right after the midterms, I decided to see if I could raise $250K by Nov. 2020 to help Democrats hold & flip seats at the federal & state level. Last spring I doubled that target to $500K. Last month I doubled it *again* to $1 MILLION.

Today I'm upping my game. 1/

@JoeBiden

As of 6:49pm, I'm less than $53,000 away from hitting the $1 million mark, so instead of November, I'm gonna see if we can crack $1 million by the time @JoeBiden finishes his acceptance speech Thursday night! 2/

WITH THAT IN MIND, here goes: All 20 of my fundraising pages, STARTING with the STATE LEGISLATURES because those are critically important but are often overlooked *and* because your donation goes a lot farther in a state race! 3/

@kdmcdonald2020

In the end, @kdmcdonald2020 crushed 3-term incumbent Jessica Cooper by a nearly 2:1 margin. Let me explain why this one was so important to me personally:

Before I begin, it's important to understand:
1. For more than a decade before I delved into being a healthcare policy analyst, I was a freelance website developer.
2. I've had a long-standing policy of not discussing details of past clients publicly. This is the sole exception.

Back in 2012, I was hired by Cooper (who was then in her first term as Oakland County Prosecutor) to develop her re-election campaign website. It wasn't a huge job, and the site itself was a fairly standard campaign site for a county-level position. Nothing unusual.

📣 THREAD: Thanks to over 3,600 patriotic Americans, I've broken my goal of raising $500,000 to help flip as many seats blue as possible this cycle!

Now, with 114 days until the 2020 general election, I'm DOUBLING my target to an even $1 MILLION! 1/
#LetsDoThis

Instead of listing the U.S. Senate page first as I usually do, I'm gonna start promoting the STATE legislative pages first. You get more bang for your buck with these races, and state legislatures usually control redistricting and other critical tools of government. 2/

@voteKellyBreen

MICHIGAN: In 2018 we flipped 5 seats apiece in the state House and Senate. In 2020 the Senate isn't up, but we can #FlipMIHouseBlue by flipping just 4 more seats!

I particularly recommend helping @voteKellyBreen in HD38 and @votePulver in HD39. 3/

OK, I apologize if I've miscategorized or oversimplified a couple of members, but as far as I can tell, this is pretty much the difference between the parties in the House of Representatives.

There's also 4 vacancies at the moment, of course: GOP Sean Duffy, GOP Chris Collins & Dem Katie Hill all resigned, and Dem Elijah Cummings passed away.

Another apology...I didn’t break out South Asian, Pacific Islander, etc. Will redo soon.
