Blog de Dunlap: Update: a Super PAC targeting me has now raked in $2 million from three massive donations

Things are moving quickly here, Danielle: In the past week, we found out that a Super PAC trying to defeat me has now raked in $2 million from three massive donations.

That's over half a million more than our campaign raised in our most recent fundraising quarter.

We have to be able to push back. I wouldn't ask if it weren't powerfully important: Can you pitch in $100 or whatever amount makes sense for you right now to support our re-election campaign?

OTHER AMOUNT

I want to talk for a moment about where the Super PAC's $2 million came from: a crypto firm and two crypto billionaires. That's no accident.

Ever since I began speaking out about how the crypto industry should follow the same basic rules as banks and all other financial institutions, the crypto lobby has been upset with me. And now they are pouring money into this race. Crypto-financed special interests think they can buy this Senate seat and hand the Senate majority to the Republicans.

I'm working for working people, not crypto billionaires. That will never change. But the big money that we're now up against makes our grassroots fundraising numbers even more critical.

In the latest fundraising quarter, the average amount people donated to our campaign was about $25. That is a sign of how we are building a grassroots campaign. And that is exactly the type of campaign I want to run — one that centers working people, advocates for working people, and puts power in the hands of working people.

Thousands of supporters chipping in $25 at a time — vs. two billionaires and one company fueling a Super PAC.

I'll take this team any day of the week. But this type of grassroots fundraising model only works if everyone keeps pitching in whatever they can, whenever they can.

This is the difference between a government that works great for those at the top and a government that can work for everyone.

So if you can keep powering our grassroots campaign today, please make a donation of any amount so that we can compete and continue working for working people.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
