This week, every presidential campaign filed a report with the Federal Election Commission detailing how much money they have raised and spent over the course of this race.

I’m digging into the data and I have a few numbers I want to share with you. And yes, I’m going to ask you to make a contribution to our campaign at the end of this email. But before I do, I want to take a moment to thank you for what you have built in the months since we kicked off this campaign back in Oakland.

I want you to know: grassroots supporters like you have built an incredible campaign.

Thanks to you, we’re in a strong position to compete in states like Iowa by building up our team on the ground and investing in targeted ads to introduce even more people to Kamala and the story of our campaign.

By pitching in a few dollars at a time, hosting watch parties, knocking on doors in your community, and reaching out to your friends and neighbors, you’re building a true grassroots campaign from the ground up. It has been amazing to see.

Now, the data. Here’s the hard truth: we are being both outraised and outspent in this election.

Bernie Sanders reported having over $33 million cash on hand. Elizabeth Warren, $25 million. Pete Buttigieg, $23 million.

That’s a lot of money candidates are going to be able to spend over the coming months to reach the many millions of Democratic voters who haven’t yet made up their minds in this primary.

So we have a big task ahead of us to cut through the noise and win this election. But you’ve shown already that we have one hell of a grassroots team ready to do what it takes. And in Kamala Harris, we have one hell of a candidate.

So here’s where I ask you: Will you make a contribution to our campaign for president today? We’ve got a mountain to climb but I know this grassroots team can do it. You can pitch in here:
