With Midterm Elections One Month Out, ActBlue Releases Q3 Fundraising Results: Best Non-Presidential Quarter to Date as Organization Passes $20 Billion Total Raised

EmitenTrust.com Some of the most hotly contested midterm races are in Texas, where Democratic donors are showing up in force — the state ranks third in fundraising volume since the last midterm in 2022.

BOSTON, Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ActBlue, the one-stop shop for campaign tools, today announced major Democratic fundraising milestones following the close of Q3 2026. What began as a fundraising platform in 2004 has evolved into the premier campaign technology provider for candidates up and down the ballot, with total fundraising past $20 billion – demonstrating the urgency and momentum everyday Americans feel in supporting Democratic candidates in 2026.

"Crossing $20 billion is a milestone, but the real story is the pace and the people behind it. We hit $19 billion in May and $20 billion in September. In Q3 alone, more than 3 million donors made over 19 million contributions, averaging just $44 each. That's small-dollar democracy at scale, and it's building real power heading into the midterms," said ActBlue CEO and President Regina Wallace-Jones.
