Team,
I’m going to ask you to make a donation in a minute, but first, I want you to know exactly why.
We all know the DNC set some tough requirements to make the fall debate stage. And thanks to you, we’re one of nine campaigns who’ve already qualified. I’ll always be grateful to this team for getting me there.
Right now, four other candidates are closing in on meeting the donor and polling thresholds -- in fact, Julián Castro and Tom Steyer are just one poll away. That means the already-crowded stage is about to get even more full.
The truth is we don’t know if or when the DNC will raise the bar to qualify for future debates.
So I’m reaching out today to ask you to keep our campaign ahead of the curve -- make a donation right now and let’s make sure our grassroots fundraising efforts are strong enough to secure a spot on future debate stages.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
If the threshold gets raised, some candidates will have a big advantage.
It took just a little over a month for Tom Steyer to meet the current donor threshold, spending over $10 million of his own money in the process.
That’s hard to compete with -- it took our team almost six months to reach that goal.
But I’m so proud of the way we did it, one donation at a time. I don’t have billions in personal wealth. I’ve refused to take checks from corporate PACs, federal lobbyists, and oil and pharma execs. I want the whole world to know that our campaign is 100% people-powered.
That’s why I send emails like this. We don’t know what comes next when it comes to the DNC rules to qualify for future debates. All I know is I won’t get there without you.
Make a donation today, and let’s make sure this grassroots team has a fighting shot every step of the way.
I can’t tell you how much it means to have you on the team -- thank you,
Cory
