We’re halfway through the month, and as of today we are almost exactly 50% of the way to our fundraising goal for March.
This is really good news, because things are picking up at Brand New Congress. Jessica Cisneros is facing a runoff in TX-28, meanwhile we have another TWELVE primaries up in the next 100 days.
We’re grateful to be on track for our goal, John, but the truth is, we need to ramp up our fundraising to have the resources we need to properly support all of our candidates.
The more funds we raise, the more volunteers we can recruit and put on the phones, the more training and strategic support we can offer to campaigns, and the more we can give our candidates that little edge that may put them just over the top.
Brand New Congress was the only national organization to support Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick in her special election for FL-20. Our early support gave her the edge that helped her win the primary by FIVE votes.
If five votes can put Sheila in Congress, then anything is possible. And John, there’s a lot on the line in the next 100 days.
Since 2016 BNC has led the way in advancing popular policies like Medicare for All and the Green New Deal. We invest EARLY to help grassroots candidates succeed. We recruited and elected AOC in 2018 and Cori Bush in 2020 alongside Jamaal Bowman and Rashida Tliab. And we have our first win of 2022: Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick won her primary by FIVE votes thanks to BNC.
We have elections from now until November, and our candidates are counting on your support. Pitch in today and join us as we take over Congress and return power to the people.
