Andrew Yang raises $750,000 in 24 hours
https://www.politico.com/news/2019/12/01/andrew-yang-fundraising-campaign-074654Andrew Yang raised $750,000 on Nov. 30, his single best fundraising day to date of his campaign.
Yangs campaign told POLITICO that the campaign received over 18,000 contributions on Saturday, with an average donation of $41.
What was unusual about Yangs fundraising haul was that it wasnt tied to any typical big fundraising event like a debate or end-of-quarter push, other than the end of the month. Other campaigns have also launched fundraising pleas to raise large amounts of money, threatening to drop out if they dont hit that total, but Yangs campaign made no such pitch.
I think what was so cool about this was all it took was 'This is the end of the month' and the campaign [saying]: Hey, were small dollars [powered] here,' Nick Ryan, Yangs campaign chief, told POLITICO. Just putting that through a lot of organic channels, not having to drum up any sort of event around it, and we have a base that goes above and beyond.
The Saturday haul was part of a larger push for the Yang campaign to raise $2 million in one week, a goal Yang tweeted that they hit early Sunday morning. It continues the trend of strong fundraising for the first-time candidate. His campaign raised nearly $10 million in the third quarter of the year, and has increasingly staffed up his campaign as money continues to flow in.
