Donna Edwards: "ActBlue is Tremendous.”
Congressional candidate Donna Edwards is ActBlue’s newest greatest fan. Using ActBlue, Edwards’ Maryland campaign raised $405,133 from 7,286 supporters around the country, building the local and national grassroots network critical to her primary win last week.
But don’t take our word for it. Here’s what Donna said Sunday on YouTube:
ActBlue completely transformed the way that we raised money for this campaign. [I]t took what we were doing at the grassroots level here in the Fourth Congressional District and it spread the message around the country, and so we didn’t just have the Maryland grassroots, we had the national grassroots. It really was because of ActBlue.
[I]’m excited about that, because it means that you…remove the K Street lobbyists from the equation, and candidates like me can rely on small contributions from around the country to support our candidacies. And then it means that…we don’t really have to listen to those guys. We can actually act on our own, and work on policy that makes a difference in people’s lives. ActBlue is tremendous.
Edwards is the first Maryland challenger to defeat an incumbent in the primary in sixteen years—this time by almost fourteen points. The Washington Post calls Edwards’ success the product of a “successful cooperative effort.”
And we know exactly what they’re talking about. They’re talking about you.
Well done.
