Yes, those are #2023elections with #Democrats.
BUT.
We non-billionaires have limited funds available to donate to campaigns.
We should focus our money where it can do the most good.
In your picture, ONLY THE GOVERNOR'S RACES ARE COMPETITIVE.
Mostly-Red states sometimes #VoteBlue for Governor to counterbalance their legislature (and mostly-Blue the opposite).
That's how Beshear & Edwards won 4 years ago.
Sadly, AG, SoS, et al rarely flip, even with big $.

@ElectLeft I appreciate that, but I have reasons for how I do fundraising (FWIW, I’ve raised over $7.2 million for over 600 Democratic candidates over the past 2 cycles).

For LEGISLATIVE races I agree 100%: Focus on swing districts only. The average person has no clue how red, purple or blue the 7,000+ state legislative districts or most of the 435 House districts are.

That average person is exactly why ElectLeft exists.
The person who unknowingly throws their money into (for example) #MarjorieThreeToes' incinerator while dozens of less-flashy races could have been won with a little more help, specifically:
* left challengers in dark blue #primaries (only).
* battleground Dems after primaries.
If resources permit, also help the few woefully underfunded House or statewide candidates who can't even mount a basic #GotV campaign. But not overdo it.

Dang.
Not gonna lie, your project covers very similar ground but is just plain better than mine. By a lot, and even accounting for wastage on unwinnable races.
Kudos.
Now I need to rethink a whole lot of future hours...
