For the past month or two I've been relentlessly cross-posting links to over a dozen of the fundraising pages on six different social media platforms per day: Twitter, Threads, Blue Sky, Mastodon, Post and Spoutible. Some people have complained that while they generally support my efforts, that's just too much.

I agree, so going forward (at least for the next few months, anyway), I'm going to cut my posts in half from 14 per day to 7: Five State Legislative pages, the Special Election...

The January 23rd New Hampshire primary also included general special elections for 2 state House districts: One of these is solid red to begin with; the other is a 50/50 swing district.

Unfortunately, since there was a competitive Presidential primary on the Republican side vs. a completely meaningless Democratic Presidential primary (where the presumptive nominee wasn't even listed on the ballot), GOP turnout understandably swamped Dem turnout, and both of these...

As I noted yesterday, my normal policy for legislative races is to only include districts with a Partisan Voter Index (PVI) rating of less than 10 points. This helps donors concentrate their donations on races where the Democratic nominee has a realistic chance of winning (or losing).

However, it's also...

My policy when it comes to fundraising for legislative races has been pretty simple: With rare exceptions, I generally only include districts with a Partisan Voter Index (PVI) rating of less than 10 points. That is, so-called "swing districts" where either the Democratic or Republican candidate has only won by 10 points or less in recent years. This helps donors concentrate their donations on races where the Democratic nominee has a realistic chance of winning (or losing).

However,...

I don't raise money for challengers to Democratic incumbents very often, but I do make exceptions.

On this page I've included several Democratic candidates who I feel would be more inclined to promote mainstream Democratic values than the incumbent Dems they're challenging.

This doesn't mean that I think the incumbent is a terrible person, just that I feel strongly enough about their performance to date that I think someone else should take the wheel.

I want to...

When I set up my Special Election page last week, I was originally planning on only including swing districts as I normally do for legislative races. However, I've since changed my mind and am now including races in districts considered either solid red *or* solid blue according to traditional demographics & voting history.

I'm doing this for two reasons: First, because...

My normal policy prior to a state primary is to only list incumbent Democrats, and to only list non-incumbent candidates prior to the primary if a) I'm personally endorsing them (i.e,. Elissa Slotkin for MI-Senate) or b) if they're the only Democrat running anyway.

Exceptions to this are when they have no serious primary challenger, which admittedly can be subjective, but...
