I want to take the time to cross-post this week’s entry here as a Massachusetts candidate made the list. I’ll try to do that each week in any state with a community blog if they have candidates on that week’s list as a service to the larger blogging community. It should not be construed as an endorsement by me or ActBlue in any way. That said, read on!
A new blog series that I’m starting up at the ActBlue Blog is a weekly activity report (to be posted each Monday). In it, we’ll look to feature the most active campaigns and fundraising pages at ActBlue for the prior week. It’s a scaled down version of our Monthly or Quarterly activity reports but if something neat or creative sticks out we’ll try to highlight it.
Total Contributions last week: $226,262.30
Total Donors: 1794
Avg. Contribution size: $128.33

With the primary coming up soon, I would not be surprised to see multiple candidates in the race all make it into the list in the future weeks. Tsongas also had a strong showing this past week. In fact, during my vacation last week I was out in Concord and took pictures next to an Eldridge and Tsongas yardsign, lol.
