Seven years ago, Ro became the first candidate for federal office to pledge to never accept PAC or lobbyist money. Today, our grassroots movement is stronger than ever.
Did you see that our grassroots movement was mentioned in Politico yesterday?
POLITICO: Ro Khanna raised eyebrows when he issued a pledge never to accept money from PACS and lobbyists — the first candidate for federal office to make that move. But seven years later, that declaration hasn’t hurt him...New figures released to POLITICO show he’s raised more than $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2021...the largest fundraising quarter of his elective career.

When Ro first pledged to never take PAC or lobbyist money seven years ago, it was groundbreaking. The skeptics and political establishment never thought our campaign would make it. Now, with the help of our thousands of small-dollar donors, our movement is stronger than ever before.

We are closer than ever before to passing Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, and a $15 minimum wage. When Ro first ran for Congress seven years ago, these policies seemed like radical ideas that would never come true – but the people of California’s 17th Congressional District supported Ro’s hopeful message.
Now, with your endless support, our movement has grown to represent working families across the country. Our donors are restaurant workers, teachers, retirees, and students – and that’s who Ro answers to, not corporate PACs and lobbyists.
If you believe in the power of this movement, please chip in today to help us continue to grow our grassroots power.
We wouldn’t be where we are today without you. Thank you.
