Team,
In my very first election, I won by just a few dozen votes.
When that happens, it makes you appreciate the little things that add up to something big. I still feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude to every single person who showed up to help -- without those folks, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
I’m writing to you now because our FEC fundraising deadline is coming up quickly. Afterward, we’ll have to file a report that will show the world what kind of campaign we’re building together.
In many ways, this marks the end of this phase of our campaign -- we’ll hit another gear once the debates begin. The people who chip in before our big deadline will have such an important role in getting this endeavor off the ground -- and I can guarantee you, I’ll never forget it.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:





People often point out I’m not like your typical candidate for president -- and ours is nothing close to a typical campaign. We’ve rejected the special interests who try to influence politicians by bankrolling their campaigns, refusing to take even a dime from corporate PACs or D.C. lobbyists.
We won’t give in to cynicism about our future -- the message we have for voters isn’t about gloom and doom. I fully recognize the crisis we’re in right now, but we’re focused on the big, bold things we can get done together to get us out of it.
We’re building a campaign that can and will defeat Trump, but we won’t stoop to his perverse brand of tear-you-down politics. That’s not who we are, and that’s not what America needs right now.
Instead, we’re focused on building people up.
As we face this public fundraising deadline, I’m asking you to believe in what we’re building together -- to take a chance on this campaign.
Please make a donation today. $1 is all it takes.
Thank you for believing in this,
Cory
