Fwd: dinner?

I would love to have the chance to have a good meal and great conversation with you. Okay, team, it’s true: I called Vedika’s family during our lunch. But we also talked about our favorite movies, TV shows, and so much more. I’m glad Vedika had as much fun as I did. It's moments like th…

Team, I need to call it a night soon. (We have a big week ahead of us!) But I wanted to send you a quick note before I do. Knowing how much is at stake in the days ahead, I can’t help but look back in awe at how we got here. It’s been 254 days since we launched this campaign. I think…

Cory took my phone and called my mom.

Hey team, I’m Vedika! You haven’t heard from me yet, but I work on the Cory 2020 analytics team. A few months ago, I won our staff fundraising challenge and as the winner, I had the chance to grab lunch with Cory here in Newark. If you enter our contest right now, you can have the cha…

Running for president is a marathon, not a sprint

Tom Steyer

Team -- a new Morning Consult poll has Tom Steyer at 8% among early state primary voters. When Tom first entered this race in July, he pledged to spend at least $100 million of his own fortune. And he’s already spent over $12 million in the last three months. The truth is, I don’t h…

October's budget:

You've helped me get back on my growth trajectory, friend. I'm not going to ask less of you, but more of you.

Team, When we said we needed to raise $1.7 million during our end-of-quarter push, we meant it. It was unprecedented for a presidential campaign to be so open about its finances, but we wanted to give everyone a real look at the state of our campaign. We felt our supporters deserved n…

re: Cory on the debate stage

Team, we reached a milestone in our goal to raise $1.7 million. I just checked in with my team, and they told me we have less than $500,000 left to go ($428,474.71 to be exact). That may sound like a lot -- and it is -- but this means our grassroots team raised over $1.2 million in les…
