We want to level with you about fundraising. No one doubts that we have the people or support to raise what we need. We've proven that time and time again. Team Beto has donated millions of dollars — all without PACs or special interests.
But lately our fundraising has slowed down. If we don't pick up the pace, we will be heavily outspent. In a time of 30-second TV ads and super PACs, the only way forward for Beto and our country is to run a people-powered effort like we've never seen before.
We had lofty goals for fundraising headed into April, and we may not make them. But we need to try our best right now to close the gap.
From the beginning, Beto said this campaign would be funded by all people. No PACs. No corporations. No lobbyists. We're holding true to that promise. But we have to face the realities about the flood of money for our competitors.
A couple of candidates already had big super PACs backing them. And just this week, a new super PAC was founded to funnel unlimited sums of money into our political process to support Joe Biden's campaign.
We're trying to campaign the right way — the real way — by traveling across the country and listening to Americans, and by relying on the support of regular, everyday people chipping in what they can afford.
When Beto's campaign succeeds and we are elected to the White House, it'll be because people like you decided to click on emails like these and make it happen.
Thank you for all you are doing.
- Team Beto
