Email from Amy McGrath, Senate candidate for KY
Some not-so-good news first: Mitch just announced that he had his best fundraising quarter ever (as in, since the 1980s!)—a sign he and his allies are taking this fight very, very seriously.
Now, some great news: This grassroots team did even better. We outraised Mitch by over $5 million—for a total of $12.8 million in the first quarter of 2020. The most impressive part? Our average donation is just $37.
These numbers show, beyond a doubt, that voters are fed up with Mitch McConnell continually putting corporate handouts ahead of working people. People are outraged that he delayed COVID-19 relief funding for 48 hours so that his buddies in Big Pharma could price gouge us on vaccines.
And keep this in mind: This team outraised Mitch while also stepping up to support those most threatened by the current crisis, both through volunteering and supporting our food bank relief efforts. (If you want to make a donation to support the Commonwealth, Common Health Food Bank Relief Fund, you can chip in here.)
It’s safe to say that Mitch has never faced a challenger like Amy before—this grassroots team truly has him in the fight of his political life.
What you all are doing, in the face of unprecedented obstacles, is nothing short of extraordinary. There’s not a doubt in our minds that, if this team can come through at the moments that count most, we can win this. You’re showing we have what it takes.
More soon—but for now, we appreciate you beyond words.

You are a mensch! Well done! 
No contributions to any of the presidential candidates (that just changed yesterday), as most of them were Senators who hounded Al Franken publicly into resigning, and NONE of them get a cent from me. I just couldn't make up my mind among the rest, but when Amy Klobuchar and Mayor Pete dropped out, the choice got clearer.
I was a former contributor to some Senators who pushed Al into his resignation, but not this time. So, I had more of the budget to spread around. Long shots like McGrath in Kentucky, Jaime Harrison in South Carolina, and Wendy Davis for the House in Texas benefited, as well as a couple of personal friends running for Congress (Mark Kelly for Senate in AZ and Valerie Plame for the House in NM). The usual Planned Parenthood, Doctors Without Borders, NARAL, NRDC, etc. all got some as well. I'm usually sucking wind financially by the end of any election year! 
But it's all fine. Besides, one of my daughters now makes three times as much as I do. I can always hit her up if I'm desperate!
Btw, Gov. Beshear (D) KY has a 89% approval for his corona handling. Kentucky is turning...dare I say it?... Blue.
You would have played a part! Me? A much smaller one, but still a part.
But my friend, Bayard lives in KY & she votes!
