Wow, team!
Yesterday, we got our first glimpse at our numbers versus Mitch McConnell’s numbers, and it’s incredibly good news!
Last quarter, Mitch McConnell raised $2.3 million from his corporate PAC and special interest donors. His Democratic opponent, Amy McGrath, raised $10.7 million (over four and a half times more than Mitch!), and we also out-raised him – raising $2.6 million with an average gift of just $23!
We started Ditch Mitch just 12 months ago as a new organization that would be solely dedicated to defeating Mitch McConnell in 2020. Since then, over 81,000 people have donated, and we have started a grassroots movement that is already outpacing Mitch McConnell.
With Mitch McConnell now saying that he’s willing to do anything to stop Donald Trump from being impeached so that he can continue confirming young, right-wing, conservative judges to lifetime appointments, it’s clearer than ever: We absolutely must defeat Mitch McConnell and finally Ditch Mitch once and for all.
We can do it, and we can do it with grassroots energy and donations, but we can’t let up or stop here. Right now, Mitch McConnell is calling, emailing, and meeting with special interest donors and corporate executives – panicking about what we’ve achieved together. And he’s going to take millions more from the NRA, Big Oil, Big Pharma, and the folks on Wall Street to try to get reelected.
That’s why we’re setting a goal of raising $250,000 before our mid-month deadline to keep up our momentum and send Mitch packing. But we are counting on grassroots donors like you to give now if we're going to hit it.

Mitch McConnell is incredibly vulnerable, and he knows it. Only 33% of Kentucky voters approve of Mitch, and an overwhelming 56% disapprove. Nate Silver – the most trusted source in politics – said that he thinks Amy absolutely has a shot at defeating McConnell. And the latest polling shows a TIED race!
Mitch has got special interests bankrolling him, but we’ve got grassroots energy and grassroots donations fueling us. With your help, we can raise another $250,000 before our mid-month deadline, hold Mitch accountable, and finally Ditch Mitch!
Ready or not, Mitch. Here we come.
