5. The email I received indicated that the money was raised from 400,000 donors.

I'm not sure where you got the donor figure, but it's incorrect.

9. Over 400,000 total for the campaign is the way I read it.

294,000 may be for the quarter.

The number of new donors was impressive!

10. It was reported by Dan Merica of CNN

11. Maybe true but that's not exactly what the email I received said.

The fundraising quarter ended just a few hours ago, and we've been poring over the results. Here's what we found:

Over 400,000 people have invested in this campaign, and in this quarter alone, Pete for America raised approximately $24,800,000.

We officially launched our campaign just a couple of months ago, and since then, time and time again, Pete has proved why he is a top-tier candidate for the nomination. From town halls on MSNBC, CNN, and FOX News to last week’s debate, he’s shown the country what I’ve known for a long time: Pete is the best person to bring a new generation of leadership to Washington.

This fundraising report shows that Pete’s message is resonating with Americans, and it’s proof that we are building an organization that can compete.

To celebrate, we made a short video recapping the success we’ve had over the last few months. Take a look, and then share it with your friends:



I hope it makes you proud to be a member of the Pete for America community — I certainly am.

From all of us here at Pete for America, thank you. Thank you for the support you’ve shown our campaign, thank you for your belief in Pete’s vision for this country, and thank you for being a part of this community. You’ve inspired us every step of the way, and we literally could not have done it without you.

We had an amazing quarter, but our work is far from over. The rest of the campaign starts today.

Thanks,

Mike

4. The amount raised during the second quarter is $24,800,000.

Pete must be doing something right!

7. Hey Dave

Thanks so much. I grew up in IN so welcome to DU! Cheers.

[IndianaDave]

8. Hey to you, too, LittleGirl. I've been here for a couple years, but I don't post very often.

So, I can see why you might think I'm a newbie. Thanks for the greeting.

14. I go through many

Posts and then life catches up and I’m silent for awhile.

I had a brother Dave. He recently passed so your user name made me want to say hello.

I’m rooting for Mayor Pete too. That’s my hometown.

6. A lot of people sick and tired of politics as usual.

12. Any other candidates release figures yet?

[mobeau69]

13. Not yet. They have until the 15th.

It'll be interesting to see them. This really raises the bar for the well known candidates. Pete has more tippled his fundraising since the first quarter.
