Can I explain?

 

Okay -- here's the truth: I am going to ask you to make a donation to my campaign in just a few moments. It's not my favorite thing about running for president, but it's important and I hope you will let me explain why it matters so much.

I'll start here: I am not taking a dime from corporate PACs or federal lobbyists -- and that was a very deliberate choice. It means we are intentionally leaving resources on the table. But that's ok with me. I never want there to be any question about whether I'm listening to the people or special interests.

That's why the average donation to fundraising messages like this one is generally about $20 -- and why I believe grassroots donors are going to sustain our movement into this primary.

Here's the other reason: next week, I am huddling with my team to evaluate the budget and our plans to build a winning campaign. The more money we raise this week, the more we can compete -- especially in early states like Iowa, South Carolina, Nevada, and New Hampshire.

The choices we make in this meeting will set the tone and pace for the rest of our campaign. I am running to win -- so we are pushing our team as hard as we can because there is just no other option.

Can I count on you to add a contribution to help reach our fundraising goal of $250,000 online this week? I wouldn't ask if your support didn't make a meaningful difference:

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

If we are going to make history in 2020, falling short in moments like these is not an option. But I know that, with your help, we will get there.

As always, I'm deeply grateful for everything you do.

For The People,

— Kamala Harris
