We need to level with you again: starting the year behind other campaigns means that we need a surge of support right now, the same that we saw right before the FEC deadline. We can close the gap...
We'll start with the bad news: Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, and Joe Biden all outraised us last quarter.
The good news, though: We know with the help of this grassroots team, we'll be able to close the gap quickly. Joe Biden raised $1.5 million more than us — and that's how much we raised on the final day of the year alone when we had a surge of grassroots donations.
A few days before the FEC deadline, we leveled with you. Elizabeth shared that we were about a good chunk behind our third quarter fundraising, and we needed to raise $3 million in grassroots donations by the end of the year to stay on track.
Thanks to this team, we were able to beat the goal Elizabeth set for us.
We need to level with you again: starting the year behind other campaigns means that we need a surge of support right now, the same that we saw right before the FEC deadline.
We can close the gap, but it's going to take the support of grassroots supporters like you stepping up for the first time to power our movement forward.
