Abdul for U.S. Senate

Here’s the truth.

Ad copy

I’ll be honest with you: asking for money is my least favorite part of this job. I know how hard folks work for every dollar. But I want to tell you why I’m asking anyway. At the end of every quarter, campaign finance reports go public. The political class pores over them, stacks candidates up next to one another, and decides who they think is “viable.” If our numbers showcase our strength, we’ll earn more media attention, more endorsements, and more enthusiasm to fuel our volunteering and grassroots fundraising. However, if we fall short, the establishment will try to write us off before voters ever have their say. That’s why this matters so much. And unlike other candidates in this race, I’m the only one who’s never taken money from corporate PACs or AIPAC, and never will. Will you chip in $15 to help us reach our end-of-year goal and keep our campaign moving forward?
