| Robinia touched on this earlier, but check out the full list of the top 10 campaigns on ActBlue this week:
1. Darcy Burner WA-08 $47,589.77
2. Kay Hagan NC-Sen $27,568.33
3. Rick Noriega TX-Sen $22,627.38
4. Donald Barber NY-SD-51 $11,440.00
5. Barack Obama President $11,179.93
6. Paul Newell NY-HD-64 $10,425.00
7. Michael McMahon NY-13 $9,211.33
8. Gary Peters MI-09 $8,587.75
9. David Nachbar NY-SD-55 $7,751.00
10.Tracey Brooks NY-21 $6,085.00
That's right, fully half of the top 10 are New Yorkers and three of those five are state-level candidates, the first time any state level candidate have ever been in the top 10.
Don Barber is the highest ranked New Yorker at number 4. Number 5? Barack Obama. Wrap your head around that one.
Paul Newell comes in 6th, a strong showing and outpacing every federal candidate from New York on the list.
NY-13 candidate Mike McMahon comes in 7th.
SD-51 challenger David Nachbar in 9th.
Tracey Brooks rounds out the top 10.
It is really heartening to see half of the list from New York, but also that three of those five are state level candidates. ActBlue is an amazing tool and I congratulate those candidates and campaigns that have embraced it. I also salute those donors who have given via ActBlue. The GOP doesn't have anything like it and their donors aren't as comfortable giving to candidates online.
Go New York!
P.S. If your campaign is not yet on ActBlue, change that. As you can see, ActBlue is a great tool even for state level candidates. This is a big part of how we run campaigns now. Get with it. |
