Stephanie talks to Charles Gaba, an ACA data analyst and activist who started raising money for Dem candidates online in 2018. He operates a simple website, blue24.org with links to slates of Democratic candidates on Act Blue that makes it easy to donate to several candidates at a time, or just one or two. In 2020, he raised a total of 6 million dollars for Democratic candidates and organizations. This year, he’s on pace to exceed that. By the end of May 2020, he had raised $303k, whereas by the end of May 2024 he’s raised $573k. That’s a 90% increase. Blue24.org is not a PAC, and Gaba doesn’t take a cut of the money he raises (although you can donate to him through the website).
Gaba uses his 50k followers on Twitter and other platforms to raise money for federal and state legislative rates in all 50 states. He just updated several after filing deadlines in a bunch of states. You can follow him https://x.com/charles_gaba.
