📣 I usually tout the *amount* I've raised to elect Dems this cycle, but should also thank the *donors*. Many of those donating $5 or $10 may have lost their jobs, their income, their healthcare due to Trump's epic #COVID19 fail, but they donate anyway. They're scared & pissed.

When I created my first 2020 cycle fundraising page right after the midterms, I hoped to raise $250,000 for *all* the candidates *total*. As of today I've raised over $5.1 *million* for over 600 federal & state candidates nationally. My final, revised target: $6 million by 11/03.

That's $832,000 in 10 days, or ~$83,000/day, or ~$3,500/hour. Let's see if we can do this. I've boiled those ~600 races across 20+ pages down to ~110 races across 2 pages (1 federal, 1 state).

FEDERAL: Help #FlipTheSenate & #ExpandTheHouse:
secure.actblue.com/donate/final_f…

STATE: Help #Flip10Legislatures at once by donating to these races in AZ, GA, IA, MI, MN, NC, PA, SC, TX & WI:
secure.actblue.com/donate/final_s…

When the dust settles I plan on writing a full analysis including $ raised for each candidate, win/lose ratios, my thinking/strategy along the way, etc. However, it boils down to: a) create a bunch of slate pages via ActBlue and b) promote the crap out of them on Twitter.

One more thing: For anyone confused, NOT A DIME OF THIS GOES TO ME. 100% of it goes to the campaigns (aside from ActBlue's normal processing fees). If you'd like to support *my* work re. healthcare policy data analysis/advocacy/etc, you can do so here: acasignups.net/donate

Update: Not bad! $32,000 more from 213 more donors in less than 12 hours! Thank you; let’s keep it going!
