Friend,
17 times in one hour. That's how many times a Politico reporter in New Hampshire saw a Tom Steyer ad while watching videos on YouTube.
And that's just online. Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg have spent buckets of money on ads in the past few weeks -- Bloomberg spent tens of millions of dollars on new TV advertisements just this morning. And there's no sign of them slowing down.
It's efforts like this that make it so much harder for an underdog campaign like ours to break through.
Right now, our campaign is still short of the polling threshold we need to reach the December debate. At this very moment, only six candidates have qualified and will be on that stage -- not a single one is a person of color.
We only have one week to qualify for the debate, and if we want to be able to compete with billionaires we’re going to need all the help we can get.
That’s why my team set a TV ad fund of $500,000 -- can you help us get there by chipping in right now?
These debate thresholds have had the effect of keeping candidates of color off of the stage while making it easy for billionaires and self-funders to spend their way to a podium. Our Democratic field started out as the most diverse field in modern history, and it would be a true shame if that diversity is not reflected on stage.
Make a donation today to help us get our message out to as many people as possible so that I can represent our party’s rich diversity on the December debate stage.
Thanks,
Cory
