Thank You + Town Hall
Thank you for your incredible support! Our Moneybomb was immensely successful, as we raised over $260k from thousands of donors in the last weekend. For the quarter, we raised over $1.7 million from 80,000+ donors. What’s most exciting to me is that 99% of these donations were in amounts under $200, with an average of only…
The Canine Dividend (April Fools’ Day!)
Brief GDP continues to go up and up, while the number of dogs per household has remained stagnant. Nothing would do more to improve the mental health of every American than providing them with 1,000 dogs (of varying breeds) per month, free and clear, no questions asked. Studies show that simply by petting a friendly…
A Week in the North
Hello, I hope you had a great weekend! I just spent 3 days last week campaigning in New Hampshire. I met with the Editorial Board of the Conway Daily Sun and spoke to the Plymouth Democrats, which was broadcast on C-SPAN. I was accompanied for much of the trip by Steve Marchand, who ran for governor of…
What Change Can Look Like
I hope that you are doing well. We have all been horrified by the tragic shootings in New Zealand. That so many innocent people were killed simply for attending their place of worship is reprehensible. It shows how destructive beliefs can drive the worst of human atrocity. As the son of immigrants myself, extremity and violence towards an…
A Week in Iowa
Hello all. What a week! I spent the first half of the week in Iowa where we had over a dozen events across the state. A poll came out recently that showed we have a LONG way to go in the state. Most Iowans still have never heard of me. We are changing that. This week helped. We had events…
We Did It!!!
Holy cow—we did it! We reached 65,000 individual donors more than two months before the May 15th deadline! Not only did we raise 65,000 individual donations, we also raised over $750,000 in the last month. Incredible! Thank you so much for everything you did to make it happen. This all but assures that I will be in…
The Best Month Yet
February was the best month ever for our campaign—we received donations from 34,025 different people for a total of $570,954.82! The average donation was $16.78. That’s incredible. THANK YOU for making it happen. We raised as much as many other major candidates for the month. Aside from the raw numbers, which are staggering, here’s another reason I am excited. I…
The Crowds are Growing
Thank you for the help and support—we appreciate it a great deal. I spent the weekend in Cincinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland meeting with supporters in Ohio. I’d visited Ohio during the Humanity First tour a few months back—this time the crowds were a bit bigger: Among my stops was an event with the Euclid NAACP, where…
What the Numbers are Saying
Hello and thank you for the support! I spent this past weekend in Washington, DC, and Baltimore for President’s Day. We had a rally in Baltimore on Monday that drew a couple hundred enthusiastic supporters at Charm City Meadery. It was a blast. I bought some honeyed mead to take home, which made my wife happy. On Tuesday,…
Making the Debate in June!
Hello and thank you for the support! We appreciate it a great deal. HUGE news—the DNC on Thursday released the criteria for making the Democratic primary debates in June and July. They are: Receive at least 1% in 3 polls either nationally or in early states (Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina) between January 1 and mid-May;…
