My top three

Team -- the deadline to reach our $250,000 goal is tonight, and we’re still $82,619 short. Here are my top three reasons why we can’t miss this goal, and why we need your help to do it: Cory won the debate in Houston. Period. He proved that he deserves to be among the frontrunners, and…

Can we count on D.C. to help us hit our goal?

Team, Yesterday, we called on Cory’s supporters from all over the country to step up and help us hit our $250,000 post-debate fundraising goal by Sunday night. After we emailed you, an influx of new donations came in to support Cory’s vision for uniting together to heal our country. A…

We need more donors from D.C., team

Did you see my email from this morning, team? We’re trying to surpass the 217 donors from Washington D.C. who chipped in after the last debate, and we need your help. Will you help us get there? Here’s where you can donate: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/cory2020-em-september I kno…

How did Cory do, team?

Team, Cory wants to hear directly from you about how the third debate went, and if you have any ideas or feedback for the next debate. Will you take a few minutes to take our official post-debate survey today? https://act.corybooker.com/page/s/post-debate-survey One thing is for certa…

Will you be the donor we need from D.C. today?

Team, I’m so humbled by all the new supporters from all over the country joining our campaign since I left the debate stage on Thursday night. Our momentum is building with each passing day but to keep this up, we have to ramp up our fundraising. My team informed me that, at this poin…

We've got one shot to make Donald Trump a one-term president, and we cannot lose it.

Team -- In the past 24 hours since leaving the debate stage, we’ve had an outpouring of support. I know we’re ready for whatever comes our way. A year from now, when I’m sharing a debate stage with Donald Trump, I just know he won’t stand a chance against us. It’s because of people li…

Our $250,000 campaign budget deadline is Sunday night.

I’m blown away, team: I just got a readout about how our incredible grassroots team stepped up after the debate. First of all: Thank you. I’ll be honest with you -- last night’s debate stage was crowded. But ten candidates didn’t stop this team from having our third-highest fundraising…

Cory Booker is the real deal -- the one ready to unite our party, heal our country, and make real change for Americans facing injustice and seeking opportunity.

Last night Cory showed America what a president looks and sounds like. He spoke with moral clarity, drove from the heart, and was his authentic self in living rooms across the nation. Cory Booker is the real deal -- the one ready to unite our party, heal our country, and make real chan…

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

This morning came early, team. But I woke up more confident than ever that we have what it takes to win this election -- together. That last word is the big one. You’ve heard me quote that old African proverb: If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. It’s …

I just got off the debate stage in Houston

Team -- I was proud to stand up on the debate stage tonight and share our vision for this country. Right now, and every day that goes by, people are starting to tune in a little more closely to this race. For an underdog campaign like ours, we won’t get this moment back. Your donation…

I truly believe this:

Friend,  Before I go on stage tonight, I just wanted to say thanks. When I walk out there, I’ll know it’s because of people like you that I’m one of the ten candidates on stage talking about the future of our country. And I couldn’t be more grateful. I’ll be able to take bold, progre…

Before I step up to the podium tomorrow night

Official September Survey [response needed]

Team, When Cory takes the debate stage tomorrow night, it’ll be the first time all top ten candidates are on the same stage debating the issues. We thought it’d be a good time to check in. As we enter the debate, it’s important for us to know where everyone on this team stands. There…

It's not a stretch to say the DNC could double the donor threshold again.

Hey -- with the debate only being three days away, I’ve been spending a lot of time in debate prep. So I’m going to keep this short today, team. When we started this race, the DNC quickly announced that each candidate would need to meet a threshold of 65,000 donors to qualify for the f…

Missing the winter debates is not an option

Team, When I am at the third debate on Thursday, there are only going to be ten of us on stage: Amy Klobuchar, Pete Buttigieg, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Andrew Yang, Beto O'Rourke, Julián Castro, and myself. The field is narrowing -- and it might shrin…

Team, we've fallen short

I’m sorry to be emailing you on a Sunday -- but I have some bad news. FIRST: Yesterday we set a goal to raise $28,417, and we fell $6,391 short. THEN: This morning, it was announced that Tom Steyer qualified for the October debates. NOW: With a billionaire in the race, we cannot affo…

Tom Steyer makes eleven

Team, this morning it was announced that Tom Steyer has officially qualified for the October debate stage. He announced his candidacy just a few months ago and since then, he’s spent over $10 million of his own money to fund his campaign. The truth is, I don’t have billions of dollars…

Wow, team! We received so many responses to our debate prep survey -- thank you to everyone who took the time to share their insight with me and my team. I’m still going through all of your input, but here are some of my favorites so far: “A lot of people don't want to see Donald Trump…

Team, When you tune in to the debate on Thursday, you’re only going to see ten candidates on the stage. No more debates split between two nights. Ten people, three hours. That’s it. Now that the field is shrinking, I had to directly reach out about some good and bad news. The bad? We’…

24 hours to double your donation. Here's how:

Democrats need to talk about climate change loudly, often, and with force because the stakes couldn't be higher.

Friend, I know it’s late, but I had to share this. The very first question I got on the campaign trail was about the Green New Deal and how we can tackle the existential crisis of climate change in our lifetime. And, I just got off the stage at CNN’s Climate Town Hall where Democrats…

The time to address climate change is now. Here's my plan:

Friend, Climate change is not a distant threat -- it’s happening now. July 2019 was the hottest month on record for the planet, towns are seeing so-called “hundred-year” floods every few years, and millions around the world are fleeing climate change-related drought and famine. And I …
