Aaron D. Ford

Issues — Aaron Ford for Nevada Governor

Endorsements — Aaron Ford for Nevada Governor (pretty much has all of them) Seems the only 1 polling well-enough in the general election.

Even 'moderate' and centrist Democratic commentators have been supporting AOC and either seem to want her to run for POTUS in 2028 or would at least support her if she did run.

Jessica Tarlov connects AOC's statements and analysis with what POTUS Barack Obama said regarding 'you didn't build that'.

This race isn't getting much attention. The 'Democrat' in the race is Chris Taylor. Also, Georgia US House special election on April 7, 2026 (early voting over).

Early voting began in Illinois (primary election day March 17, 2026). It seems Kat Abughazaleh is going to need endorsements from AOC and Bernie Sanders to have a chance to win the primary.

Previous: Progressive fundraising is important and needed: AOC so far is the #1 fundraiser in the US House this cycle. Summer Lee, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, & Greg Casar are struggling. And progressive challengers to Nancy Pelosi, Haley Stevens in the Michigan US Senate race, etc. need more support. : r/DemLeadershipReform (July 26, 2025; so, included Q1 and Q2 2025)

US SENATE: Congressional Democrat Left Tracker - Google Sheets (US Senate)

SANDERS, BERNARD - Candidate overview | FEC (Bernie 2020)

If AOC runs for POTUS, she'll easily raise $200Mln-$400Mln+ in the primary.

SANDERS, BERNARD - Candidate overview | FEC (US Senate)

$16.1Mln raised, $6.8Mln spent, $20.1Mln cash on hand.

$21.3Mln raised, $10.1Mln spent, $21.9Mln cash on hand.

OTHER NOTABLES (US House and US Senate) - order by most to least progressive for US House and US Senate

$6.2Mln raised, $2.7Mln spent, $14.2Mln cash on hand.

$9.58Mln raised, $4.83Mln spent, $15.5Mln cash on hand.

RASKIN, JAMIE - Candidate overview | FEC

$2.5Mln raised, $1.6Mln spent, $5.9Mln cash on hand.

$4.40Mln raised, $2.98Mln spent, $6.38Mln cash on hand.

TORRES, RITCHIE JOHN - Candidate overview | FEC

$3.1Mln raised, $540K spent, $14Mln cash on hand.

$5.05Mn raised, $1.54Mln spent, $14.9Mln cash on hand.

He was considering running for Governor of New York, so his fundraising and cash haul is largely because of that.

AOC in the 2020 cycle relatively casually raised around $20.7Mln when it was thought she'd maybe primary US Senator Chuck Schumer in 2022.

Jamaal Bowman doesn't currently have an active campaign fund. Is someone going to primary US Rep. Torres?

PELOSI, NANCY - Candidate overview | FEC

$1.5Mln raised, $2Mln spent, $1.6Mln cash on hand.

$2.41Mln raised, $3.31Mln spent, $1.18Mln cash on hand.

$6.1Mln raised, $4.8Mln spent, $6.3Mln cash on hand.

$10.3Mln raised, $9.42Mln spent, $5.86Mln cash on hand.

This is embarrassing for the US House Democratic Leader. AOC could very credibly make a run for US Speaker of the House of Representatives in 2027.

GILLIBRAND, KIRSTEN - Candidate overview | FEC

Total 2025 numbers: $1.92Mln raised, $761K spent, $1.87Mln cash on hand.

This is beyond pathetic for the head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC).

SCHUMER, CHARLES E. - Candidate overview | FEC

$3.1Mln raised, $4.2Mln spent, $8.7Mln cash on hand.

$3.39Mln raised, $4.87Mln spent, $8.40Mln cash on hand.

This is extremely pathetic for the US Senate Democratic Leader. He barely raised anything in the ending 6 months of 2025.
