I'm running to be the best president that money can't buy.
I'm not raising money for this campaign by hosting any fundraisers where you can only meet me if you can write a big check. And I'm not taking any money from Washington lobbyists, corporate PACs, or PACs of any kind.
You'll always know that I'm fighting for you — not for any powerful special interest group with deep pockets.
Our first big test of 2020 is soon: The Iowa Caucuses. In the 32 days ahead, we have a plan to build our momentum, grow our moment, and win — but it's going to take real resources, and grassroots donors make it all possible.
When I ran for office for the first time, not very long ago, I had a lot to learn.
But here was the first — and most important — lesson I got: Nobody does this on their own.
I'm grateful down to my toes for everyone who knocks on doors, makes phone calls, texts their friends about our new plans, hosts debate watch parties, and chips in $2 at a time. For everyone who makes this campaign their own. For everyone who's in this fight all the way.
If — and only if — we fight side by side, we can beat the big banks, the fossil fuel giants, the huge pharmaceutical companies — everyone who's been rigging the rules and pulling the strings so our economy and our government only work for the wealthy and well-connected.
We can end Washington corruption, rebuild the middle class, and save our democracy. But only if we keep growing our grassroots movement with grassroots donors in D.C. and across the country.
