I go around the country with Elizabeth as her communications director.
She sets a fast pace on the campaign trail — sometimes literally (you might have seen me placing third in the background of that TMZ clip of her running to catch a train.)
It’s because she really prioritizes going to as many places — and talking with as many people — as possible. Here’s some of what that’s looked like, by the numbers:
- Holding 48 events (with more on the books for today and tomorrow in New Hampshire)
- In 12 states plus Puerto Rico
- Taking over 225 unfiltered questions from voters
- More than 22,000 attendees seeing her in person, and about 13,000 people staying afterwards to get selfies and chat with her
- Not to mention, the access she’s given the media: she’s answered hundreds of questions from the press in 39 press conferences and close to 100 interviews
Now, here’s the thing: Elizabeth is only able to do this because she’s forgoing private fundraisers with wealthy donors and hours and hours of calling for big checks.
Our campaign is only possible because more than 135,000 grassroots donors have chipped in. So here’s one more number for you: Can you make your first contribution to help keep Elizabeth on the road and keep her voice front and center in this race?

Every day on the trail brings something different, like house parties with neighbors getting together in living rooms, organizing events in packed theaters or school gyms, even seeing how maple syrup gets made in New Hampshire.
And next week, we’re headed to South Carolina, Colorado, and Utah.
She hears directly from people about what’s going on in their lives — dealing with student debt, fighting to be able to get health care, trying to find good affordable child care, getting a check back from Citibank thanks to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
She wouldn’t hear all those same types of stories at swanky fundraisers where people have to drop thousands of dollars to get in the door. And she wouldn’t get to spend as much time building our grassroots movement.
So we’re running a different kind of presidential campaign — only powered by people like you giving what they can when they can — with no support from federal lobbyists, corporate PACs, or PACs of any kind.
If you want to see a strong grassroots campaign show how we can get big money out of politics — and if you like what you see when Elizabeth’s out on the road talking about her big ideas — chip in $3 or whatever you can afford now:
