We're going to let you in on a little secret:

Pete Buttigieg's campaign, and a few other campaigns in this race, are being boosted by the support of Super PACs and the bigwig donors who can donate millions to them.

Here are a few of the ad buys these groups have placed in the early states:
- An outside group has already spent more than $1,000,000 on TV ads backing Pete in New Hampshire
- "Unite the Country," a Super PAC supporting Joe Biden, dumped nearly $5,000,000 into last-minute ads for him in Iowa, and just announced another $900,000 ad buy in New Hampshire
This type of behavior is exactly what's broken in our politics, and we won't let it go unnoticed.

On the day Elizabeth announced she was running for president, she denounced the role of Super PACs and shady outside spending in the Democratic primary.

If you believe Super PACs and anonymous wealthy donors have no place in our primary, chip in to fund our 100% grassroots-funded campaign for big, structural change now.

Here's what makes these new ads even more troubling: It's illegal for candidates and Super PACs to coordinate strategy with one another.

But we saw this tweet from one of our opponents' senior strategists, and we wanted to make sure you saw it, because it's a prime example of just how easy it is for campaigns to exploit our broken campaign finance laws:

@mhalle "Pete's military experience and closing message from Iowa work everywhere especially in Nevada where it's critical they see this on the air through the caucus."

That message will be picked up by outside groups working on Pete's behalf.

As you can see, there's a pretty easy way to skirt those rules about sharing notes between Super PACs and campaigns: by doing it all in public.

Elizabeth is running a campaign that's 100% grassroots funded. She doesn't accept help from Super PACs -- or PACs of any kind -- and she doesn't accept donations from executives of giant agribusinesses, the fossil fuel industry, big tech companies, or hedge funds. She doesn't host private closed-door fundraisers where billionaires can beg for more tax breaks or lax regulations on polluting our environment, either.

That's because Elizabeth is in this fight to create a government that works for us, not the wealthy and well-connected. That means preventing wealthy donors from buying this election.

Instead, Elizabeth relies on this grassroots movement, made up of more than one million people, who contribute their own money to fund this campaign.

And with millions of dollars now being spent by outside groups in this primary, she needs your help more than ever. The New Hampshire primary is less than a week away, and we doubt this is the last we'll see of outside groups trying to tip the scales.

If you believe that our elected officials should be accountable to the people, and not secretive donors with their own set of priorities, chip in to fund our campaign for big, structural change.
