#DemFundraiser
🧵 For the 2020 election cycle, I had raised just over $120,000 for Dems up & down the ballot as of New Year's Eve 2023.
For the 2024 election cycle, as of this moment I've raised over $210,000 for Dems up & down the ballot.
Can we hit $220,000 by midnight? Let's find out! 1/

5. Since the filing deadline has only passed in a few states so far & no primaries have happened yet, most spots are still "TBD."
For federal races, you can donate to *whomever* ends up the eventual Dem nominee. For state races I've included state Dem parties/etc for now.

WITH ALL THAT IN MIND, here's ALL of my fundraising pages for the 2024 election cycle.
First, help FLIP THE HOUSE BLUE by donating here:

First, a few reminders:
1. By default, donations are split evenly across each candidate/fund listed...but you don't have to donate to all of them; you can pick & choose via the "customize amounts" tool.
2. Hate getting spam from the campaigns? All of my ActBlue pages include a tool to opt out of sharing your email address during the checkout process.
3. I DON'T HAVE A PAC; ALL DONATIONS GO TO THE CAMPAIGNS/FUNDS LISTED. I RECEIVE NOTHING.

4. I generally only list competitive / potentially competitive seats for *legislative* races but to list EVERY Republican-held seat, no matter how solid red, for statewide races (Senate, Gov, AG, SoS).
However, I also make sure to clearly label those as long shots.
Most people know WY is solid red, so if they choose to donate there I assume they have their reasons. On the other hand, it's *not* reasonable to assume most people know whether, say, MI's 54th state House district is competitive

In addition, at the legislative level there's just too damned many districts to include them all anyway--435 in the U.S. House plus over 7,000 state legislative seats.
I boil these down to the ~10% rated as competitive according to Cook Political Report & Dave's Redistricting, give or take.

Mississippi just had their legislative elections, which brings us to MISSOURI, where Republicans introduced a bill to CHARGE WOMEN WHO HAVE AN ABORTION WITH MURDER.
It was so extreme they pulled it when even their anti-choice GOP governor opposed it.

INDIANA: Another solid red state. Even breaking supermajorities is pretty much impossible here, but Dems can at least hold their ground & make some gains. Donate today:
https://secure.actblue.com/donate/inblue24?refcode=gabamasto
Charles Gaba
IOWA: The GOP has a supermajority in the Senate but not *quite* in the House.
Democrats can stop them from gaining one in the House while hopefully breaking it in the Senate. Donate today:
https://secure.actblue.com/donate/iablue24?refcode=gabamasto
Charles Gaba
KANSAS: Another red state w/GOP supermajorities...but with a Democratic governor.
Help Democrats break that supermajority to at least give Gov. Kelly veto power:

KENTUCKY: Confused? Didn't KY just have their state elections?
Well, yes and no; for some weird reason, Kentucky holds their STATEWIDE elections in odd-numbered years...but their LEGISLATIVE races are still in even-numbered years. Donate today:
https://secure.actblue.com/donate/kyblue24?refcode=gabamasto
Charles Gaba
Again, LA & MD don't have legislative races in 2024, while ME candidates use public financing, bringing us to MASSACHUSETTS.
Believe it or not, even in the Bay State there are over 2 dozen competitive legislative seats!

While red states prosecute women for having abortions & miscarriages, MICHIGAN is about to enact the REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH ACT effective TOMORROW!
This is ONLY possible thanks to Democrats having a trifecta...which is at risk next year. Donate today:
https://secure.actblue.com/donate/miblue24?refcode=gabamasto
Charles Gaba
MINNESOTA appears to be a bit more in the blue zone than Michigan these days, but we can't be complacent.
Like MI, MN has also kicked ass with their Dem trifecta; help keep it that way!
https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mnblue24?refcode=gabamasto

CALIFORNIA is a blue state, but it still has competitive legislative districts.
Besides, boosting legislative turnout also helps turnout for CA's half-dozen flippable GOP-held Congressional seats, so consider donating today:
https://secure.actblue.com/donate/cablue24?refcode=gabamasto
Charles Gaba
COLORADO may be a blue state these days but Democrats can't be complacent.
Plus, helping state legislative Dems also helps turnout for Dems running for competitive U.S. House seats! Help KEEP CO blue by donating today!
https://secure.actblue.com/donate/coblue24?refcode=gabamasto
Charles Gaba
Again, CT legislative candidates use public financing & DE doesn't have enough competitive seats to bother, which brings us to FLORIDA.
The GOP has a supermajority in both the House & Senate, so the best Dems can do is try to *break* those. Donate today:
https://secure.actblue.com/donate/flblue24?refcode=gabamasto
Charles Gaba
GEORGIA Democrats are unlikely to flip control of their state legislature, but they can definitely make gains...and boosting Dem legislative turnout also helps with Congressional turnout. Donate today:
https://secure.actblue.com/donate/gablue24?refcode=gabamasto
Charles Gaba
As noted earlier, HI doesn't have enough competitive seats to bother, but believe it or not there's a dozen seats w/PVIs of 10 points or closer in IDAHO.
Again, breaking supermajorities is the best Dems can hope to do here:
https://secure.actblue.com/donate/idblue24?refcode=gabamasto

ILLINOIS is a solid blue state, but it still has competitive legislative districts. Help keep it blue by donating today:
https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ilblue24?refcode=gabamasto
Charles Gaba
Next up: State legislative races. VIRGINIA already had theirs in November, but they also have SPECIAL ELECTIONS for 2 GOP-held seats coming up in a week or so.
In an exception to my "no long shot" rule, I'm including them here; donate today:
https://secure.actblue.com/donate/vablue23?refcode=gabamasto
Charles Gaba
Besides VA, NJ, MS & LA already had their legislative elections last month. In addition, neither AL nor MD have their regular legislative races until 2026. CT and ME both have public financing, while DE& HI don't have enough competitive seats to bother.
That leaves 40 states, so here we goooo...

ALASKA: Alaska has an unusual political makeup which sometimes results in independent legislators teaming up w/Democrats for a working majority.
Dems need to flip 7 House or 2 Senate seats to *officially* gain a majority of either. Donate today:
https://secure.actblue.com/donate/akblue24?refcode=gabamasto
Charles Gaba
ARIZONA: Are you jealous of what Dem trifectas in Michigan & Minnesota have been able to accomplish over the past year?
Well, ARIZONA Democrats only need to flip 3 seats to GAIN A TRIFECTA AS WELL in 2024! Donate today:
https://secure.actblue.com/donate/azblue24?refcode=gabamasto
Charles Gaba
ARKANSAS: Democrats are contesting the most state House seats they have in over a decade.
They can't flip the state legislature, but they can hold their ground & make gains for the future. Donate today:
