John is spot on here. While I recommend reading the article, his series of tweets under this one are extremely insightful. Our HQ gets dozens of calls every day from local voters tired of this.
One of the biggest problems with GOP online fundraising is that we keep looking for easy solutions instead of fixing the underlying problems. Before WinRed, we were told technology was the reason we couldn't keep up with Dems. It wasn't. And it still isn't. 🧵 politico.com/news/2026/10/27…

I tried to create an X account to post all the absurd texts we got two years ago, but we gave up after a couple weeks. Follow @GOPfundTexts for someone more dedicated to posting how absurd fundraising texting has become.

Why is it so hard for Michigan’s Abdul El-Sayed to condemn terrorism?

I don't know how anyone can look at the data and think Republicans *don't* have a problem. I don't want to rely on Trump or a small handful of mega donors to fund our races. I want voters to buy into what we're selling. We all should. politico.com/news/2026/10/27…

Must-read 🧵 thread for every Republican who hates the daily assault of fraudulent fundraising texts and wonders why Dems keep outpacing us in online $$ while the consultants get rich. Dems build unique marketing campaigns around candidates while Rs sell fake “Trump checks.”

We put a focus on gross revenue above all else. Instead of trying to be efficient, we focused on churning. No one is rewarded for netting campaigns money, only for getting headlines that come from posting bigger numbers.

There isn't an easy fix. We need to invest in finding new donors, communicate with them honestly, give them reasons to stay engaged, and measure success over years instead of days. That's hard and requires dedication, but it's how you build something that lasts.

When fundraising slowed and candidates started getting reluctant to lose as much as needed to keep rev share revenue up, we decided Super PAC should overspend to add the same exact donors to multiple candidates' files. This created more competition for campaigns, while not adding meaningful new donors.
