You wanna know the real reason you keep seeing ads like this one, asking for campaign contributions? It’s because money has way too much influence in our political system. I’m James Talarico, and our campaign for the U.S. Senate is going up against big money, Super PACs, and billionaire mega-donors. We’re running to change this broken, corrupt political system. But the only way to beat big money is with people-power. The only way we can win is if regular people like you donate $5, $10, $15 to fuel this people-powered campaign. And we’re about to face our biggest test yet. We’re about to hit our most important fundraising deadline in this campaign on December 31st. So can you chip in whatever you can to power this campaign?
