Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D. MA) in support of former Consumer Financial Protection Bureau director, Richard Cordray’s (D. OH) gubernatorial campaign:
I know what it’s like to be up against a deadline likeRichardCordrayis facingtonight. It’s moments like these that can make or break a campaign.
We can't let Rich down -- and we won't. That's why I was in Ohio campaigning with him last weekend:
I’m doing everything I can to make sure he and Betty come out oftonight’sdeadline ready to win the primary in three short weeks.
I know one donation doesn’t feel like it makes the difference for a governor’s race. But here’s the deal: in a close race like Rich’s, strong grassroots support can mean the difference between winning and losing.
These deadlines matter to the political reporters writing stories about the strength of a candidate’s campaign. They matter to grassroots organizations trying to decide where to put their political muscle. And they matter to campaign staffers who need to budget how much money they can spend to get out the vote between now and Primary Day.
If everyone on this team chips in a few dollars -- or whatever they can afford -- incredible things can happen. I know it because I’ve seen it.
