When our campaign has a goal that we haven’t met yet, calling up corporate PACs to close the gap isn’t an option. And that’s by design. Many of my colleagues raise the vast majority of their money from those very same sources — 70, 80, and sometimes even 90%. Their small-dollar donations are few and far between.

When our campaign has a goal that we haven’t met yet, calling up corporate PACs to close the gap isn’t an option. And that’s by design.

Many of my colleagues raise the vast majority of their money from those very same sources — 70, 80, and sometimes even 90%. Their small-dollar donations are few and far between.

That’s not us. At our core, we believe that if you want to fight for the people, then you have to be funded by the people. No private audiences for wealthy lobbyists, no special treatment for special interests.

But that does mean that when we need a little help, we have to ask you — through emails just like these — if you can chip in just a little bit to get us over the line. Today’s one of those days.

Our team is incredibly close to this $25,000 EOQ fundraising goal. With just under $2,000 left to go, will you do your part to push us over the edge, and bolster our progressive movement?

After midnight tonight, my finance team is going to hand me a list of everyone who chipped into the campaign — no matter if they gave $1 or $2,800. Hopefully, I’ll see your name on that list tomorrow.

Thanks for everything that you do. And I promise that I’ll never stop fighting for the working people of this country, because everyone deserves a shot at a good future in the United States of America.

In solidarity,
Ro Khanna
