Special Elections '25

Note: In addition to official "special" elections, this page may also include candidates running for local office (County, Municipal, etc) who don't fit into other categories.

.

By default, donations made on this page will be split evenly among the boldfaced funds below, but you can also pick & choose which campaigns to support using the "Customize Amounts" tool.


Note: I include the Partisan Voter Index (PVI) rating for every district where possible according to Dave's Redistricting to give donors a general idea of how tough a district each one is.
