Tired of calls from random candidates or texts from unfamiliar PACs? Take control of your giving.

Strategy

• Compare top-money, PAC spend, prior margins, turnout, and impact - then vote with your dollars.
• Approach from multiple directions, e.g. low Presidential support with high district support, and vice versa.
• Look for underfunded, close in '24 or divergent margins in either direction, may be longshots, are low-dollar races, high-impact districts, or with high PAC, RNC spend, or little national attention.
• Find candidate via the donate link or research separately.

How to Use

1. Sort and filter: ⇧Shift for multisort, for conditional filters. Expands sections.
• Where a ratio or margin can swing Republican or Democratic,  + positive favors Republicans,  - negative favors Democrats. e.g. a  -10% 2024 margin is D+10,  +5% is R+5.
• Funding Ratio compares candidate vs. opponent funding:  2x mean R has twice as much as D,  -2x means D has twice R. +/- 1 is about equal.
• Percent Small & In-State Donors compare donor counts (not dollars) from the FEC individual donor dataset.
2. Mark interesting races - your selection is saved as you apply different filters.
3. Click through Race to the Federal Election Commission. Donate links to an ActBlue district search.
4. A caveat: This data is messy and manual. I'm only human.
