We know that so many folks are going through a challenging time right now. If you’d like to hit pause on these emails while this crisis is at its worst, just let us know here.

Friend, some not-so-good news first: Mitch just announced that he had his best fundraising quarter ever (as in, since the 1980s!)—a sign he and his allies are taking this fight very, very seriously.

Now, some great news: This grassroots team did even better. We outraised Mitch by over $5 million—for a total of $12.8 million in the first quarter of 2020. The most impressive part? Our average donation is just $37.

These numbers show, beyond a doubt, that voters are fed up with Mitch McConnell continually putting corporate handouts ahead of working people. People are outraged that he delayed COVID-19 relief funding for 48 hours so that his buddies in Big Pharma could price gouge us on vaccines.

And keep this in mind: This team outraised Mitch while also stepping up to support those most threatened by the current crisis, both through volunteering and supporting our food bank relief efforts. (If you want to make a donation to support the Commonwealth, Common Health Food Bank Relief Fund, you can chip in here.)

It’s safe to say that Mitch has never faced a challenger like Amy before—this grassroots team truly has him in the fight of his political life.

What you all are doing, in the face of unprecedented obstacles, is nothing short of extraordinary. There’s not a doubt in our minds that, if this team can come through at the moments that count most, we can win this. You’re showing we have what it takes.

More soon—but for now, we appreciate you beyond words.

Thank you again,
McGrath HQ
