Two big things happening next week

Friend, in a few moments, I am going to ask you to chip in to my campaign for president. Here’s why: We close the books on July just a couple of hours after I step off the debate stage next week. And where we land at the end of this month in terms of fundraising will decide a lot about…

I want to fill you in on my debate prep

Team --  Now that the debate lineups are set, my team and I are working hard to prepare for the big night.  For an underdog campaign like ours, so much is riding on these big moments. It’s a rare opportunity to compete on a level playing field with the frontrunners -- especially the c…

Andrew Yang got there. Joe Biden got there. Kamala Harris got there. Bernie Sanders got there. Elizabeth Warren got there. Julián Castro got there. Beto O'Rourke got there. And Pete Buttigieg got there. Will we?

Team,  Now that we know we’ve met the polling threshold to qualify for the fall Democratic debates, a lot is riding on this question: Will we reach the 130,000 unique donors the DNC requires to be on that stage? Eight others have. Today, I need to ask for your help to make sure we ge…

Donald Trump's racist attack

Friend,  The words Donald Trump chose to use this past week were purposefully racist. He invoked a centuries-old weapon to send a message to all people of color: Your identity does not belong to you, your history does not belong to you, your body does not belong to you. It’s not the f…

It's on us to condemn white supremacy

Team, I was absolutely sickened when I heard the chants of “send her back” at a Trump rally this week -- directed at a congresswoman who better represents America’s ideals than this president ever will. My parents watched George Wallace on TV in black and white. At Trump’s rally that …

Should I be up there with Andrew, Bernie, Joe, Julián, Kamala, Elizabeth, Pete, and Beto?

Team,  I just wanted to send a quick note to make sure you saw the news that our campaign officially met the DNC’s polling requirement for the fall debates. But we won’t qualify if we don’t reach the mandatory 130,000 donor threshold -- I need your help to make sure I don’t fall short…

How small-dollar donations help us grow

Friend, I know we send a lot of emails asking for donations, but I want you to see how small donations are building this campaign from the ground up. In a competitive race with so many candidates, we need a lot of resources to bring this thing across the finish line. All along, our foc…

If you don't see the very real connection between Trump's words and his policies, you're not paying attention.

Friend, “You don’t belong here.” “You’re not one of us.” “Go back to where you came from.” These are racist comments Black and Brown people have heard our whole lives, and now we’re hearing it directly from the highest office in the land. On Monday, Trump announced that he’s ending as…

I'm so proud of my son for this

Friend, I'm so proud to be writing you about the latest plan my son Cory announced yesterday -- as president, he will fight to expand access to high-quality, affordable, long-term care. Most Americans will need long-term care at some point in their lives, and because of high costs, ma…

Friend, if you were stranded on a deserted island, what would you bring with you? If you could pick a superpower what would it be? What’s the one thing you would fix in this world if you could wave a wand and make it happen?  These are the types of questions I’d routinely ask my friend…

Tomorrow, according to reports, ICE will be raiding homes across the country under the orders of the Trump administration. Read this:

Friend, Tomorrow, according to reports, ICE will be raiding homes across the country under the orders of the Trump administration. Terrorizing families and ripping people’s loved ones from their homes doesn't make us safer. It doesn’t reflect our values, and quite frankly, it’s moral …

Big update for you, team -- It’s official: Our campaign has met the polling criteria to reach the fall debates!  That’s huge -- now, the only thing standing in our way is the DNC’s mandatory 130,000 unique donor threshold. We’re getting closer every day, but we’ll need a few more big …

re: Tom Steyer

Friend, The Democratic primary got a little more crowded this week when Tom Steyer entered the race. He’s already pledged to spend at least $100 million of his personal fortune on his bid for president. That puts campaigns like ours at a big disadvantage.  Look, a large, diverse fiel…

Health care isn't a partisan issue. It's a humanitarian issue.

Friend, Republicans are once again attacking the health care coverage of millions of Americans.  A federal appeals court in New Orleans packed with Republican-appointed judges appears ready to rule that Obamacare is unconstitutional. If the law is overturned, nearly 20 million people…

No human is illegal -- no matter what Donald Trump says.

Amy McGrath. A retired fighter pilot. A Marine. A Kentuckian. And now she’s running to replace Mitch McConnell in the halls of the Senate. At the age of 13, Amy dreamed of becoming a fighter pilot, but women were barred from serving in combat roles in our military. So she wrote a lett…

Winning the White House means so much more than replacing Trump in the Oval Office

As president, I'll fight to transform our immigration system from one that tears families and communities apart, to one that treats immigrants with dignity.
