Hopium's Audacious Expansion Fund

This new campaign seeks to invest early resources in five state Democratic Parties - Alaska, Iowa, Florida, Maine, and Texas - that are expansion opportunities for us next year and into the future.


Simply, Democrats must learn how to win in more red states and red places if we are to retake Congress next year and build a better Electoral College map for us in the years ahead.


This fund will split each donation five ways and put resources into state parties who have not traditionally received significant national investment. Early, odd year investment will make a big difference as these challenging states gear up for critical races for Governor, Senate and the US House next year.


I am setting a ambitious goal - $250,000, $50,000 to each state party - by the end of 2025. Note that

high net worth donors can give up to $50,000 to this fund - $10,000 for each state party.


Hopium is already raising for Jon Ossoff in Georgia and Roy Cooper in North Carolina. But we need to put more seats in play if we are to flip the Senate next year. This fund will help make things possible that would not be possible without early investment, and prior to us having a primary winner we can all rally around.


We modeled this kind of early investment approach in two state parties last cycle - Nebraska and North Carolina - with great success.


This is a higher risk investment than we normally make here at Hopium. But with Trump tanking and struggling more is possible for us now, and these kinds of early investments can help turn a long shot race into a competitive one in parts of the country where we simply must learn how to win.


We can do this people! - Simon
