Jason,
Politico just posted an in-depth report on the 2020 candidates' schedules. You have to read what they said about Beto:
- "Nobody has packed in near the number of stops as Beto O'Rourke."
- "Notably, O'Rourke didn't have the in-person fundraising burdens of several others."
- "O'Rourke has been everywhere."
This is a campaign that's going places...LOTS of places. We can do that because we raise so much of our funds online. Beto doesn't have to spend his time dialing for dollars or schmoozing at events, because most of our money comes from emails like this one.
When you run for office, the typical DC consultants will tell you you're supposed to spend about HALF your day making fundraising phone calls or attending fundraising events. Because all of you have given so much to Beto online, we can keep the "call time" and fundraising events to a minimum. It's a huge weight off Beto's shoulders. It means he can hold more town halls and visit more states.
But here's the thing. If we don't hit our August goal before the month is up, we're going to be in trouble. We don't want to have to scale back our plans. We want to be able to run the all-out campaign we're running.
