Blog de Dunlap: This is absolutely critical

Danielle, if you're in a place where you can make a contribution to support my re-election campaign today, it would be a huge help. I'll explain why:

Now that we're in the thick of campaign season, and our primary election in Massachusetts is closely approaching, we are required to report our fundraising results more often. And our next deadline is coming up this week.

Since our last fundraising report, a Super PAC supporting my Republican opponent (a crypto-lawyer from Rhode Island recruited to run against me) raked in $2 million from three massive donations — from two crypto billionaires and one big crypto firm.

To put that into perspective: Those donations are over half a million more than our campaign had raised in total during our last fundraising quarter. Just like that.

It's absolutely critical that we show strength on this upcoming fundraising report. And this grassroots campaign relies on a large number of supporters pitching in a little at a time, instead of a small number of billionaires and special interests pitching in a lot at a time.

I'm proud of running a grassroots campaign like this — but it can only work if we all pitch in when we can. So if you're able, will you please contribute $100 or anything you can right now to respond to this Super PACs funding with a strong surge of grassroots support and demonstrate strength on our next fundraising report?

OTHER AMOUNT

On top of showing strength on our next public report, here's what your donation would help accomplish:

Supplying the resources we need to run a strong campaign in Massachusetts, compete against any influences from special interest groups trying to buy this election, and hold onto our Senate majority.
Building momentum for our plans for big, bold action — like universal child care, a wealth tax, a guaranteed nationwide right to an abortion, ethics reform at the Supreme Court, and a whole lot more.
Taking power out of the hands of special interests, greedy CEOs, and wealthy insiders and putting it where it belongs: in the hands of working people.

Look, August, September, and October are some of the most critical months of an election year — when most spending takes place.

They've got their handful of special interest donors, but we've got each other. Thousands of supporters chipping in an average of $25 at a time — vs. two billionaires and one company fueling a Super PAC. I'll take this team any day of the week.

This is the difference between a government that works great for those at the top and a government that can work for everyone. So can you please pitch in $25 or anything you can right now to respond to this Super PACs funding with a strong surge of grassroots support for my re-election campaign?

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
