It’s not the end of the world, but...

When Mandela is declared the winner in this race, please think back to the donation you made today. Because it made a big difference. Friends — this isn’t the news we were hoping to share this morning… But with just a few hours to go before the end of our mid-month fundraising deadline, we…

why today?

This is so important. Because we’re a bit short of where we need to be at this point and it's an FEC deadline month... Why today? We’ve sent a number of fundraising emails, all of them important to Mandela’s success. But why is today’s different? Why is today the day it’s so important for y…

Please sign my petition to say you support my plan to pass a new Voting Rights Act, stop the wealthy from buying elections, end partisan gerrymandering, end the filibuster, and enhance election security.

Add your name: Tell Congress to pass legislation to protect the right to abortion granted under Roe v. Wade

I am writing to ask you to make a $3 contribution to my campaign for U.S. Senate. This is going to be an expensive race, and your donation will help put us in a position to win.

We're going to be up against some powerful special interest groups that will spend unlimited sums of money to try to defeat us. I'll be honest: The worst part about running for U.S. Senate is the huge amount of money it takes to build a successful campaign. I know the idea of money in poli…
