Elizabeth Warren is the Democratic candidate for 2012 US Senate election in Massachusetts, and she's fighting to unseat the Republican incumbent Scott Brown. Warren is one of the good guys, and has had tremendous grassroots support.
Today, the The Progressive Change Campaign Committee announced that it has raised $1 million through grassroots donations for Warren's Senate campaign.
In all, Warren has raised $12 million from grassroots donations, representing 43% of her total since entering the race last year. Via the Huffington Post (emphasis mine):
The announcement by PCCC comes as Warren, a favorite of progressive Democrats, is set to speak at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte Wednesday. The group said that the $1 million raised came from 50,000 donors with an average donation of $16.
Warren has been a rock-star fundraiser, mostly thanks to her appeal to liberal and progressive Democrats across the country. She has raised more than $28 million since declaring on Sept. 14, 2011, that she will challenge Republican Sen. Scott Brown in Massachusetts. Small donors, like many of those giving through PCCC, have given $12 million to her campaign -- a very high 43 percent of her total.
This is an important race. Elizabeth Warren has demonstrated a commitment to hold Wall Street accountable and fight for families and the middle class. In 2008 she chaired the Congressional Oversight Panel created to oversee the implementation of the
Emergency Economic Stabilization Act. She stood up to lobbyists in 2009 to create the
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, in accordance with the
Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
Let's keep the grassroots momentum going and donate today to Warren for Senate.
