Real quick, then you can get back to putting the final touches on your costume

Friend, Well, we're here... The last day of October, the spookiest fundraising deadline of the year. I wanted to send you a quick update on our goal progress. The scariest thing you’ll see today is this: We're still $75,882 short of hitting our $725,000 goal -- and we need to get ther…

To be direct, team

Team, Just last week the DNC raised the threshold for the December debate -- each candidate must have 200,000 unique donors to qualify for the stage. The stakes have never been higher. And hitting our end-of-month goal has never been more important. Will you chip in to help us reach …

Didn't hit the mark

Team -- Last night, I emailed you about two important goals coming up for our campaign -- raise $725,000 by the end of the month and reach 200,000 unique donors to qualify for the December debate. We needed 26 people from Washington DC to step up to keep us on track. Well, team, we ca…

We need 26 people from Washington DC to step up tonight

Friend, A few days ago, our campaign set a goal to raise $725,000 by the end of the month. We also learned that we need to grow our grassroots team to 200,000 unique donors to qualify for the December debate. We’re so close to reaching both of these goals, team, but we need 26 more do…

Not an email I wanted to send this morning

We’re falling behind on our end-of-month goal and need you to step up right now to get us back on track. Can you chip in today? I’ll be honest, team. The news isn’t good. I’m seeing our latest numbers and we are not where we need to be. We’re running out of time to hit our $725,000 go…

Hey team, It’s time for a numbers update. Check this out: Now we’re slowing down, but I know this grassroots community can help make up the difference. Make sure we don’t miss our $725,000 end-of-month goal. Our average online donation today is $19.06 -- can you donate right now to…

I'm a man of my word

Friend, On Friday, I told you that if we stay on pace to reach our October goal of raising $725,000 before the end of the month, I’ll “reward” everyone with some of my most cringe-worthy Halloween content. Well, I’m a man of my word, and even though we barely scraped by this weekend, …

Dinner with the Boss (okay, but not Bruce Springsteen)

Cory keeps asking me when he’s going to get dinner with our contest winners. He’s excited about this, team. The truth is that our contest is coming to an end soon. Chip in today and you’ll be automatically entered for a chance to win. This is your chance to grab a meal with the Boss. …

An update on the December debate

Hey team, here’s an update on the DNC debate requirements. FIRST: The DNC announced that each candidate must have 130,000 unique donors to qualify for the September and October debates -- and this grassroots team came together to make sure this campaign was not counted out. THEN: The …

After you've stopped cringing...

Friend, A few days ago, I announced our October grassroots goal of raising $725,000. But this isn’t going to be your typical fundraising drive. This deadline falls on Halloween, and I’m feeling festive. So let’s have some fun with this. As a way of saying thanks, I’m going to (mildly…

Joe Biden. Elizabeth Warren. Bernie Sanders.

Hey team, I have an update on the DNC’s new December debate requirements. So far, only three candidates have qualified -- Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders. Right now I’m asking you to chip in to help us reach the 200,000 unique donors we need for Cory to be on stage with…

The DNC debate stage

Team, Moments ago, the DNC raised the debate stage threshold to 200,000 unique donors. That means in order for me to be on the debate stage in December, we’re going to need all hands on deck. I know we can do this, but only with your help. Please chip in today. Here’s the deal, team: …

Today's announcement...

Hey team, Cory’s right, this team does have a habit of coming together to reach our goals. And most of the time? We blow right by them. That’s why this morning we set a grassroots goal -- $725,000 by October 31st at 11:59 p.m. -- to help us capitalize on the investments we’ve made. I…

I need you with me, friend

Our monthly fundraising deadline next week is a very big deal, friend. Here’s why: Voters will start weighing in come February, just 102 days from today. Because we hit our ambitious grassroots fundraising goal last month, we were able to make critical investments in key early states.…

Early morning layovers and late night red-eyes

Team, We’ve known from the beginning that we’d be an underdog in this race. And in order to win, we’d need to run a grassroots campaign. That means we have to be smarter and more efficient with how and when we allocate our resources. We don’t spend on what we want, we spend on what we…

We're being outraised and outspent

Friend, Now that every presidential campaign has filed their financial reports with the FEC, we took a closer look at the state of the race. There’s no hiding that some campaigns are kicking off the fourth quarter with a sizable head start. Bernie Sanders has $33 million cash on hand,…

We've fallen behind

I’ll be honest with you. Our fundraising has really slowed down in the past few days. It was a big setback when we set a goal of $53,740 -- and fell short. Here’s why I’m concerned: we have a huge end-of-month deadline coming up on October 31st. If we don’t ramp up our fundraising effo…

bad news.

What the numbers are telling us:

Let me be clear. This election is about so much more than just what was talked about on stage.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this week’s debate, team. And I can’t help but feel that for voters tuning in for the first time to see what we as Democrats have to offer, a lot of our party’s core priorities were left out of the conversation. The fifth debate will be here before we kno…

For the fourth consecutive debate, Cory walked off the stage as a winner. It may have been crowded on that stage (11 other candidates can do that!) but that wasn’t enough to stop Cory from standing out as a leader and a unifier. If you like what you heard from Cory during the debate, …
