Outraised, but not outmanned

“Wasserman Schultz and primary opponent Tim Canova each raise more than half a million dollars” — Sun Sentinel

No one in the establishment saw that headline coming.

In the last financial quarter, Tim Canova, a political newcomer who started with virtually no political infrastructure or endorsements, has built a campaign that is competing toe-to-toe with a powerful and entrenched incumbent. And while it’s true that Debbie Wasserman Schultz slightly outraised our campaign last quarter, you can bet that we will never be outmanned.

Why? Because in the past three months, supporters made over 26,000 individual contributions, which is more than FOUR TIMES as many donations as collected by our opponent — and not a penny of our money was from corporate special interest groups.

We are rewriting the playbook and taking our democracy back one small-dollar donation at a time. Give $3 to help our campaign continue to take on the establishment.

And here’s the bottom line: we are going to get outraised in this election — our opponent will call in every favor she has in Washington and on Wall Street to build up her corporate warchest.

But it won’t be enough.

We will have an army of people helping to knock on doors, make calls, and reach out to voters across the district. Together, we are going to overcome the billionaire class’ investment in Debbie Wasserman Schultz and upend the status quo in Washington by relying on the power of the grassroots. Our plan is to create an even bigger people-powered movement in Florida over the next several months — can you help us build it today?

Your contribution of $3 could be the difference in this campaign because we refuse to accept money from corporations or Super PACs. Help us even the playing field now.

Our primary is only a few months away and we have a lot of work left to do to send a powerful message to the establishment. We’re asking supporters like you to fund this campaign because it is the only way to take back our democracy from a broken political system.

In solidarity,

Team Canova
