-Gemini AI was queried about the MASSIVE fundraising totals:
> Gemini AI question:
Is it possible there already is help for Eileen Laubacher by the dccc by them providing lists of possible small donors?
> Gemini AI answer:
Summary: The DCCC is likely providing Laubacher with the "infrastructure of a winner"—connections to consultants, national donor networks, and strategic advice—while officially remaining neutral until the primary on June 30, 2026.
1. "Eye-Popping" Fundraising Totals
As of late 2025, Eileen Laubacher has reported raising over $4.4 million, with nearly $2 million of that coming in a single quarter.
-
Comparison: For context, her primary opponent Trisha Calvarese (the 2024 nominee) raised roughly $650,000 in the same timeframe.
-
The Donor Link: In high-stakes races, the DCCC often facilitates introductions to major national donors and PACs. While they don't always "give" a list, they provide "strategic guidance" that essentially serves as a roadmap to the party's most active contributors.
Gemini AI Conclusion: Laubacher’s massive haul for a first-time candidate suggests she is plugged into these national networks.
