Friend --

Our efforts are working, but we need your help to keep growing. We need you to donate $20 to post a big number for May so Andrew can meet his goal by the end of June.

More and more members of the media are catching on to the movement we are building. Our New York rally drew reporters from outlets including Fox, CNN, and ABC. Politico, one of the biggest publications in politics, just published a major profile on Andrew, asking, “Is Andrew Yang for real?” Some highlights from the article:  

Yang’s candidacy has a lot in common with . . . Donald Trump on the right and Bernie Sanders on the left.

He is offering what may be the single most specific diagnosis of the problem at the heart of the American economy.

He can talk in vivid detail about specific, scary, looming problems.

He comes across as a problem solver.

The reporter followed the campaign in South Carolina, where Andrew was polling at 2% ahead of his first trip to the state. That polling didn't reflect the large crowds and enthusiasm that greeted Andrew throughout his tour. As one local politician who attended an event told Andrew, "I expected about 10 people to show up, this is unbelievable!"  

Even better news: Andrew's favorability is up in Iowa, according to a recent poll by Change Research of likely Iowa caucus-goers. We still have a long way to go, but in order to get there, we have to show that we can compete with the politicians who represent the old guard.

Last year, this campaign was considered a 'longer than longshot' campaign. But just like the profile in Politico says, Andrew is offering the single most specific diagnosis of the problem at the heart of the American economy and, unlike many of the other candidates running, he has real solutions and not just great taglines and platitudes.

These solutions are what will catch the imagination of the American people, driving Andrew's polling numbers to the double digits before he surges to the front of the pack. We are not there yet, but our path is clear, and we can't do it without you.

We need you to donate $20 to help push our May fundraising total up so Andrew can hit his Q2 goal.

The numbers are up, but there is more room to grow. We know that Andrew is the only one talking about automation and the impact it will have on American workers and families, but the reality is we must work even harder to spread the message.

It's a steep climb and we cannot do it alone. But we know that if we can do this together, we can make Andrew the story of the DNC debates next month. We can hit this fundraising goal and prove that the Yang Gang is real and growing stronger every day. And we can win in Iowa and South Carolina because you made it possible to contend.

The mainstream media isn't going to help us make it happen. The old guard politicians are going to see to it that Andrew's bold, new, innovative ideas are drowned out. But we can fight back and forge our own path. That is what the Yang Gang is all about.

Thank you,

The Yang2020 Team
