You can read this thread, about the money we raised for Democrats running for the Kansas Legislature in 2024, on my blog, Meticulous Musings.

I have already begun raising funds for Democrats running in competitive elections in 2025 and 2026.

You can donate to Democratic candidates running in those races through the Democratic Victory Fund.

Only two of the 16 candidates that received money from the fund won their races.

Nikki McDonald won in District 49, in Johnson County, by 1.2%.

Dan Osman won in District 48, in Johnson County, by 5.8%.

Because I adjusted the candidates included in the fund over time, different candidates received different amounts from the fund.

This table lists the candidates based on the amount they received from the fund, with the candidates that received the most listed first.

I raised funds for 2 of the 6 Kansas Senate races where the margin was decided by less than 6% in 2024.

Specifically, I raised funds for Usha Reddi, in Riley County, and Andrew Mall, in Johnson County.

That’s not as impressive as my record for predicting competitive Kansas House races, but it’s still fairly good, considering my foresight was obscured by the fog of redistricting.

This ongoing thread examines the performance of Democratic candidates that I solicited donations for last year.

Those candidates ran for seats in the Kansas Legislature.

This thread can be read as an article on my blog, Meticulous Musings.

The most competitive Kansas House races from 2024 are shown in the table below, which is organized by the 2024 margin, with the closest races listed first.

The bottom two races weren't competitive in 2024, but they were in 2022.

I raised funds for all 11 Kansas House races where the margin was decided by less than 6% in 2024.

That’s a really impressive result.

We’ve examined whether donations to the fund went to competitive races. But it’s also worth exploring if the fund should have included races that I failed to anticipate would be competitive.

For the 2024 election, Kloos was redistricted into Kansas Senate District 3.

In 2024, Kloos won reelection in District 3 by 14.8%.

District 3 is located in Osage, Douglas, Franklin, and Shawnee counties.

In 2024, Dena Sattler ran against Rick Kloos in the Kansas Senate.

In 2020, Rick Kloos (R) defeated incumbent Democrat Anthony Hensley in Kansas Senate District 19 by 2.1%.

That was the closest election for the Kansas Senate in 2020.

Even though Democrats lost seats in both chambers of the Kansas Legislature, money donated to the fund went to candidates whose races were decided by narrow margins.

I evaluated the accuracy of my predictions for the US Senate elections, and the accuracy of 538's polling averages for those races.

Ultimately, Democrats did not break the Republican Supermajority in the Kansas Legislature in 2024.

Instead, Republicans gained three seats in the Kansas House, and two seats in the Kansas Senate.

I covered the results of the 2024 elections for the Kansas Legislature in a previous article.
