John Hickenlooper is running for re-election in Colorado — a safe blue seat where he’s heavily favored to win.

But his campaign is actively siphoning donations away from two candidates who desperately need every dollar they can get: James Talarico in Texas and Adam Hamilton in Kansas.

The Hickenlooper campaign is using SEO and AEO tactics to manipulate search results and AI summaries. When voters search to donate to Talarico or Hamilton, they’re instead getting directed to ActBlue donation forms that — despite appearing to be for the intended candidate — actually funnel 100% of the funds to Hickenlooper.

A.J. Carrillo stumbled upon this, along with numerous spam PACs running similar plays. He joined me on the pod to walk through how he uncovered it, what patterns he’s finding, and to share any lessons we can learn from these bad actors.

We're 39 days from Election Day! If you're running for office and struggling to find compelling content to share during long, hectic days, I got you!

I compiled a list of 15 content ideas you can post to social media in the final stretch of your race.

This list isn't exhaustive or prescriptive — just looking to help you and your team think outside the box in the final weeks of the campaign.

Hope it's helpful!

50,000 followers is cool.
500 organized voters who actually show up on Election Day is... cooler.

I spend a ton of time on TikTok talking about politics and elections in Wisconsin. The goal isn't to get famous — it's to organize people. To move them from "I'm scrolling" to "I'm voting."

I checked in with Erika Harrison about this on a new ep of Hello Merge Tag. She built Black Girls Who Brunch as a food blog. Now she uses it to organize voters in Texas and beyond. While she has a ton of followers on social, she has 2,400 people in her Sway voting group. In the primary, 83% of those folks turned out to vote. In two races, her Sway group exceeded the margin of victory.

That's the difference between followers and actual electoral power.

I sat down with Erika and Claire Shorall (Sway's founder) to talk about what it actually takes to turn an audience into voters.

Voters are asking ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok about candidates. Most campaigns have no idea what those answers say about them. And even fewer know how to influence them.

Jack Welty came on the pod to talk about preparing for the first AI election. He shared practical steps any campaign can take right now to ensure voters are finding credible, accurate information when they go looking.

Republican consultants are using AI daily at nearly twice the rate of Democrats.

“Every day that we are not adopting this stuff, the other side is moving faster. And I think ultimately that’s going to translate into votes.”

Jack Welty helped build the analytics program for two Democratic presidential campaigns. He joined me on Hello Merge Tag to talk about where our party is falling behind and what our side needs to start doing differently — now.

"It doesn't matter if Democratic senators or members of Congress put out TikTok videos or bring influencers for special hearings. Ultimately, if it's not in their bones that they want to fight with everything they have, the people will see right through it."

Murshed Zaheed has been in this fight for 30 years — Howard Dean's digital team, Harry Reid's war room, CREDO Mobile. He has watched the Democratic Party cycle through the same conversations about tactics over and over again. From "blogging it" in 2006 to TikToking it in 2026.

He's tired of it. Not because tactics don't matter. But because tactics without strategy are just noise.
