We set aggressive fundraising goals to keep Ro on the road and focused on his great work in Congress, and our movement strong. But right now, we’re not on pace to be there by the 31st.
This month, that’s something we have to really pay attention to. As you’ve definitely heard by now, Ro officially has a primary challenger for his seat. That means it’s time for us to show the power of our movement, and raise as much as possible to build a community-first, grassroots movement to win this thing.
I don’t have to tell you that fundraising numbers are a display of strength for most candidates. And in Ro’s case, we’re already at an optical disadvantage. Every cycle, we leave millions of dollars on the table because we refuse 100% of corporate PAC donations.
Is that the right thing to do? Hell yes. But it doesn’t change the fact that when the pundits and our opponents look at the fundraising scoreboard, we’re lower than another Democrat who’s willing to sell out to Amazon or Walmart.
Let’s win this race, and show the country that Ro’s not going anywhere.
In solidarity,
Cooper
