Democratic fundraising giant ActBlue says it raised more than $305 million in the third quarter, more than tripling its totals over the same period in 2017, the most recent comparable election cycle, according to documents first obtained by The Daily Beast.

The internal data shared with The Daily Beast shows the Democratic money machine marked dramatic increases across the board. Raw totals of donors and contributions both more than doubled over this point in the previous midterm cycle, as did the amount of cash funnelled to Democratic House and Senate candidates, many of whom face tight races in 2022.

That $305 million came from 2 million individual contributors, with an average donation amount of $35.26. And the combination of gifts to outside groups and to candidates at the federal, state, and local levels brings ActBlue’s sitewide totals on the year to an eye-popping $906 million.

ActBlue executive director Erin Hill provided a statement touting the platform’s responsiveness. “Grassroots donors are not letting up the gas pedal as we head into 2022,” Hill said. “This quarter particularly showed that donors are ready to mobilize at a moment’s notice and committed to supporting candidates and causes long-term. As donors fuel movements and expand their investment in campaigns and organizations demanding change, they’re setting the stage for the pivotal midterm year.”
