Harris, I want to tell you a secret

I'm not a corrupt healthcare CEO or multimillionaire who can just write a check to buy this seat. Our campaign relies on the power of the people.

Elijah Manley is more than a substitute teacher and organizer — he's a relentless fighter who knows what it means to struggle and overcome. Growing up in poverty and homelessness right here in Florida's 20th Congressional District, Elijah has experienced the challenges so many South Florida families face today. That's why he's running for Congress.

 

Harris, I want to tell you a secret. Most candidates would never tell you, but as a people-powered campaign, I have a responsibility to share it: 33 — that is the most contributions we have ever received to a single fundraising email. It's a mark we've reached twice. The average donation to those emails? $17.10. In the four days left until my FEC deadline, we need our emails to do better than our two all-time best. Whether we reach this goal, exceed it, or fall short depends very much on whether you contribute, Harris. That is the honest truth. My hope is that sharing this information will shine a light on how difficult it is for young and progressive candidates for Congress depending on grassroots donations to run. Especially one like myself who does not come from a wealthy or powerful background. Make no mistake: We have the people and the momentum to win this race. Our campaign to take on corruption and deliver an agenda for working people in Congress is over 15,000 donors strong nationwide. I understand that not everyone is in a position to contribute financially every time we send an email, Harris. But in these last couple of days before my FEC deadline, it is really important that we try. Our FEC reports will be public, and after last month's Congressional Ethics report on my opponent, everyone will be looking to see if we have kept up our momentum. I am humbly asking you, Harris, to make a $5.00 contribution to our people-powered campaign. We need your support before my FEC deadline. Will you contribute? If you've saved payment info with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately. EXPRESS DONATE $5.00 EXPRESS DONATE $15 EXPRESS DONATE $35 EXPRESS DONATE $75 EXPRESS DONATE $5.00 Other Amount I cannot do this without you. Thank you. With gratitude, Elijah
