Team — A quick campaign update today.
On Friday I told you that I approved some new investments to help get this campaign off the ground now that I have a challenger.
I said that the money wasn’t in the budget, and this team responded by stepping up and chipping in what they could to make those investments possible.
We’re now less than $8,000 away from closing our fundraising gap before Friday night — that’s huge progress since last week!
In the world of political fundraising, $8,000 is a drop in the bucket for some. In fact, many politicians would simply call up a billionaire donor or corporate CEO and ask for that $8,000 upfront.
Not me though. I am rejecting corporate PAC money in this campaign because I will not become beholden to the interests of the rich and powerful while I’m in Washington. I will fight for the working class and every American who can’t afford to buy-off politicians to get their voices heard.
But relying on a grassroots fundraising model means that every dollar counts. It’s going to take hundreds of folks chipping in $10 or $15 at a time to reach our goals. I’m confident we can get it done.
Will you be one of the amazing people who chips in today to help us close this fundraising gap and turn our focus back towards the all-important fight to protect our democracy from Donald Trump and his authoritarian agenda? Your help today would mean the world.

Thank you to everyone on Team Markey for making what we do — and the big wins we’ve had — possible.
In solidarity,
Ed Markey
