Last year, we emailed you a bunch about this number:
$22.44
That was our average grassroots donation during our campaign against Mike Garcia -- $5 from a public school teacher who knows that our students and school staff need more support, $30 from a plumber who wants to see unions like his protected by Congress.
It meant so much to us that people from our community stepped up to support our movement to elect a real leader for our district -- and we’re thrilled to see that grassroots support once again in 2021.
So far this year, our average grassroots donation is $23.79.
**If you’re one of the folks who’s already chipped in to get us there, thank you so much. This campaign wouldn’t be possible without your support.**
The fact is, $23.79 won’t buy you much in politics. But when 200 people each chip in that amount, and when folks who can give more do so? It really adds up.
Unlike Mike Garcia, we don’t take money from corporate PACs -- so grassroots supporters like you are truly at the heart of our campaign’s fundraising strategy.
