Netroots August Fundraising Push Update #2
Posted by James L.
The Netroots August fundraising push continues to amaze. As you know, our goal is to amass 100 new contributions for each House candidate and 250 for each Senate candidate on the combined MyDD/DailyKos/Swing State Project Actblue page. After a few minutes of crunching the numbers, it amazes me to say that we've smashed the fundraising goals for 7 of the 11 House challengers, and are well on our way towards meeting our Senate goals as well--and all this after only 48 hours into our week-long fundraising push. You guys, from all across the netroots, have really delivered for the netroots-endorsed candidates at a traditionally tough time for fundraising (the dead of August). Below is a chart breaking down the action over the past 48 hours--I've removed, of course, the static totals for past candidates (Ciro Rodriguez and Francine Busby) as well as for BlogPAC, which is not the focus of this fundraising push.
| Candidate | District | 8/20 Donors | 8/22 Donors | New Donors in Past 24hrs. | New Donors Since 8/20 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ned Lamont | CT-Sen | 3064 | 3,187 | 62 | 123 |
| Jon Tester | MT-Sen | 2056 | 2,205 | 73 | 149 |
| Jim Webb | VA-Sen | 1270 | 1,474 | 86 | 204 |
| Eric Massa | NY-29 | 905 | 1,007 | 50 | 102 |
| Joe Sestak | PA-07 | 876 | 989 | 53 | 113 |
| Patrick Murphy | PA-08 | 687 | 794 | 48 | 107 |
| Jerry McNerney | CA-11 | 681 | 792 | 53 | 111 |
| Darcy Burner | WA-08 | 679 | 796 | 59 | 117 |
| Linda Stender | NJ-07 | 508 | 609 | 45 | 101 |
| Paul Hodes | NH-02 | 465 | 582 | 64 | 117 |
| Larry Kissell | NC-08 | 427 | 523 | 46 | 96 |
| John Courage | TX-21 | 415 | 511 | 42 | 96 |
| Dan Seals | IL-10 | 375 | 464 | 43 | 89 |
| Jay Fawcett | CO-05 | 375 | 470 | 45 | 95 |
| Total | 12,783 | 13,634 | 769 | 1,620 |
This is fantastic momentum, and if you haven't had the chance yet to make a contribution, and you have the means, please consider doing so. This is especially vital for three House challengers (Darcy Burner, Eric Massa, and Paul Hodes) who have to submit early fundraising reports for the period ending at midnight tonight. For more numbers, click on "Extended Entry" and see exactly how much each Netroots candidate has raised over the first 48 hours of this push.
