When we started this campaign about four months ago to the day, we had no political infrastructure or money. Just to get up and running, I had to loan the campaign $15,000 I’d been saving over the years for a down payment on a house here in South Florida. That was how strongly I felt about the need for progressive change across this country and in this district.

You see, I’m not a member of the billionaire or political class. I can’t afford to self-fund and it took years of hard work to save that money. But in the end, I believed so strongly in what the grassroots was capable of that I was willing to put my own skin in the game.

Look at where we are now and what we have been able to accomplish over the last four months. What started with a small personal loan has turned into a political movement that has put the Washington establishment on the defensive. Our opponent, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a notorious political insider, is scrambling to rebrand herself as a progressive while hundreds of new people join our campaign each day. Our grassroots campaign is truly a remarkable accomplishment.

We’re taking the fight to Debbie Wasserman Schultz and a corrupt establishment in Washington. Your $3 contribution right now allows our campaign to continue talking to voters, so we can win this election and send a powerful message to the wealthy elite.

Instead of sitting on the couch and yelling at the TV, we are uniting together to unrig our broken political and economic systems — and we are going to win. Thank you for everything you’ve done to help turn a small personal loan into a political revolution.

In solidarity,

Tim Canova
