I'll always side with the people

 

Since the 2010 Citizens United ruling, the rich and powerful have spent unlimited sums of money to influence our elections. That's why our campaign is not taking a dime from corporate PACs or federal lobbyists: because I never want there to be any question about who I'm listening to. The answer will always be the people.

I'm talking about families struggling to make ends meet; students buckling under crushing debt; patients with pre-existing conditions worrying about their protections; and more. Those are the voices I'm answering to in this election -- not the corporate PACs and lobbyists trying to buy influence in Washington.

The truth is, we don't have to accept a system that drowns out the voices of the American people. We can do better.

That's why I am not going to spend a minute of this campaign asking federal lobbyists and corporations for donations. But that means every small-dollar, individual contribution matters. And with just one day left until we close the books for February, my team is telling me that we are a bit short on our goals for the month. So I'm asking:

Can I count on you to make a contribution to catch us back up to our February goal? We're rejecting support from corporate PACs and relying on grassroots donors to power this movement -- which means your donation will make a huge difference for me and my team:

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Believe me when I say this: the wealthy few who abuse our campaign finance system would love nothing more than for us to fall short this month. Why? Because I refuse to play their game. I want to win this election the right way -- and with your support, I know we can.

Each time I send you a message just like this asking for help, you answer the call and exceed all expectations. So I'm turning to you again:

Add a contribution to help us get back on track for February. Let's send a powerful message to the lobbyists and corporate PACs that we can win without them.

Together, we are going to prove a campaign can be won the right way in 2020 and beyond. That's my promise to you.

Thank you, as always, for everything you do.

— Kamala Harris
