Hi there,

My name is Anthony Mercurio and I’m the National Investment Director at Pete for America. This is my first email to many of you, so I wanted to use it to answer the question I get the most: why do we call ourselves the “Investment” team instead of the “Finance” or “Fundraising” team?

Traditionally, political campaigns build out a Finance Team and rely on a single fundraising model: to raise as many major donor checks as possible. Instead, we see our donors as investors in Pete’s vision for America, and we treat every donor – giving any amount – as a valued stakeholder in our campaign. 

You are investing your time by sharing Pete’s vision with your friends, planning events, and hitting the pavement in support of the campaign. 

You are investing your energy by jumping into a difficult political climate and taking a real stand to support our values and embracing a new generation of leadership. 

You are investing your resources to help fund this campaign and take us to the next level.

If you’re ready to invest in Pete’s bold vision for the future, please consider making your first donation today before Pete heads to Miami for the first Democratic primary debate.

As Pete says, donating to a political campaign is an act of hope. You, our investors, trust us with your hope for a better future, and in return we treat your commitment – your time, your relationships, and your money – with incredible care and responsibility. 

Your trust allows us to grow the campaign, share Pete’s message with new supporters, and empower thousands of volunteers across the country.

As this campaign goes on you will likely get more emails from me, and I’d be lying if I said most of them won’t include an ask for a donation – we will need your financial support to win this primary, change the channel in Washington, and get Pete to the White House. 

However, I will make you this promise: we will always be good stewards of your investment.

Will you become a first-time investor in our campaign?

And I’m sincere when I say it doesn’t matter how much you donate, whether it’s a $1 or more – we value your investment, and we value you.

Thank you, 

Anthony
