Hey there!

After a strong push over the last several weeks, we closed the books on the third quarter last night.

Powered by the grassroots energy of more than 580,000 donors, Pete for America will file an FEC report later this month showing we have raised over $19 million during the 3rd quarter, bringing our total raised to more than $51 million since the beginning of this year.

This is great news and it positions us to not just go the distance, but win.

What we’ve raised has helped us hire organizers and open offices in states critical to winning the nomination. It’s gotten Pete to debate stages. We’ve run ads and been able to move Pete around the country to rally new supporters day by day, week by week.

We’ve come a long way. When we got in, no one knew what to think of a mayor from a mid-sized city in the Midwest running for president. Was there any reason to believe we were for real? Was there a clear path forward? Could we win? Yes. Yes. Yes. All people needed to do was listen to Pete. And they have, thanks to you. You’ve brought this campaign to life in ways no one but us saw coming.

Thank you -- from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. I’ve been Pete’s friend for more than 20 years and know that he’s lifted up by your support. We grow more hopeful all the time. And we need some more hope in our country right now.

Be proud. I am. Thank you.

Onward to 2020.

Mike
