ActBlue has announced that it raised $833 million in the third quarter of 2026, marking a record non-presidential fundraising period and surpassing $20 billion total since its inception. The organization highlighted strong small-dollar contributions from over three million donors who made more than 19 million donations averaging just $44 each. This surge reflects growing support for Democratic candidates ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. Texas emerged as a key battleground, ranking third in fundraising volume behind California and New York. ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones emphasized that this momentum is driven by everyday Americans contributing to local, state, and federal campaigns. Compared to Q3 2022, fundraising increased by nearly $190 million (up 29%) with almost five million more contributions. The data underscores a shift in political engagement as ActBlue continues its role as the primary digital platform for Democratic campaign financing.
