I’m not gonna spam you all with pleas for fundraising (we all get enough of that) but I’ll re-up these links every so often in case they got lost in the shuffle.

I did a similar exercise in 2024 and we raised over $118K from 648 contributions (netted out to just shy of $5K per campaign).

My goal is to collectively raise $250K this cycle (just shy of $10K per House campaign on this list).

Idk I think we can do it.

It's always important to show your work.

Below is the spreadsheet with all of the information that I used to inform my decision making for these 26 Dem House campaigns, with lots of pretty (overwhelming?) conditional formatting, because why not.

And I've turned off the setting that automatically shares your email and phone number with the recipient campaigns. It'll ask you if you want to share your contact info (don't do it!) so you don't get hit with all those annoying emails and texts.

Even if you can just give $26 — $1 per campaign — it helps en route to critical mass. Whether or not you are able to donate, please share with others.

If you don't want to donate to all of the campaigns, or want to donate to some campaigns more than others, you can customize that very easily.

High turnout in the open seat Dem primaries in IL-07 (touches 23 wards in central/South Side/West/Northwest Sides) & IL-09 (touches 7 wards in the Far North/North Lakefront) is very important for Stratton to run up the score in Chicago — necessary to offset expected deficits downstate.

Kelly is more likely to pull from Stratton citywide, but her congressional district only touches five wards (4, 5, 7, 9, 10 — the last of which is majority Latino and expected to favor Raja).
