When people tell Elizabeth that something just isn't possible, she proves them wrong.
When we released our fundraising numbers last quarter, some pundits were surprised. They were surprised that our grassroots movement kept pace without big dollar donors and closed-door fundraisers — that we had the resources to compete, and win.
But, there's been a pattern for a while. When people tell Elizabeth that something just isn't possible, she proves them wrong.
When Elizabeth started working to create a consumer agency, people said she would never get it past the big banks and their friends. But she took them on, and she beat them.
When, in her first campaign, she started 17 points down against a popular incumbent Republican Senator, people told her she was going to lose. She took him on, and she beat him.
When we aren't afraid of the critics — and invest in the change we truly believe in — we win.
Since we launched this campaign, this entire movement has stepped up to show that we're ready for a new vision of politics.
We raised $19.1 million last quarter, and we got there with an average donation of just $28.
People said that we couldn't stick to our principles and win. But we're going to be in this fight all the way not in spite of our principles, but because of them.
Because we're building a grassroots movement from the bottom up.
