Folks,
Did you see Kelsey’s email below on Michael’s grassroots performance for last quarter? Folks like you stepped up in a big way but we can’t afford to get complacent. We just found out another one of Michael’s opponents contributed a milliom dollars last quarter.
Michael isn’t accepting money from corporate PACs or federal lobbyists. He’s running a truly grassroots-driven campaign.
Michael is building power from the ground-up to win. So, I have a respectful request:
Our campaign is powered by small-dollar gifts not corporate PACs and federal lobbyists. Please pitch in $10 today to fight back against Michael’s self-funded opponents.
Thank you and don’t forget to read Kelsey’s email below,
Justin

Hi Team,
I’m Kelsey, Michael’s Finance Director, and I run fundraising for Michael’s re-election campaign. We recently closed the books on the final quarter of 2021, and since you’re a key member of this grassroots team, I hope you’ll take a look at what we achieved together:
- Last quarter was Michael’s largest off-year fundraising quarter, ever.
- We received tens of thousands of contributions, in just 3 months.
- We had 4,000 first-time donors last quarter, totaling almost 19,000 new donors for 2021 — we’re really growing this team!
- 94% of our contributions were small-dollar donations under $200 for the third consecutive quarter. That’s a sign of our grassroots power.
- $0 came from corporate PAC or federal lobbyists because Michael believes fighting money in politics means leading by example.
Last quarter was Michael’s largest ever off-year quarter. Even as we dipped into a slump during the holidays, folks like you stepped up to invest in this campaign and fend off attacks against Michael’s record.
Now, we’re in the election year and it’s critical that we start off strong. Michael won his last midterm election by slim margins so we can’t leave this race — and power in the Senate — up to chance.
Will you donate $10 to help us build on the momentum we had last quarter and start this critical midterm year strong?

Thank you for your continued support,
Kelsey
