$17.77.

That’s our average online donation this year. I’m extremely proud of that, folks, because that number says a lot about this incredible grassroots team.

Together, we’re building a movement that depends on hardworking Americans chipping in what they can to make a difference — not the special interests with big campaign checks and secret agendas.

The well-connected lobbyists in Washington don’t control me or the decisions I make. I will always work for you. With that in mind, I’m personally asking:

Will you match our online average contribution of $17.77, or any amount meaningful to you, before our mid-month deadline tonight? Your donation allows me to keep doing my job in the Senate.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

You might be surprised to learn this, but grassroots donations from emails like this make up a huge part of our budget. They help us challenge the big corporations and dark money players one small-dollar donation at a time.

Thanks for chipping in anything you can today. If we’re going to get our government working for the people again, we need folks like you with us.
