Amy Klobuchar Raises Over $1 Million From Online Supporters Since Announcing Presidential Campaign

Klobuchar Raises Over $1 Million From Online Supporters Since Announcing Presidential Campaign

Minneapolis, MN — Today, the Amy for America presidential campaign announced that they raised over $1 million from online and grassroots supporters across the country in the 48 hours following Senator Klobuchar’s announcement in Minneapolis. Less than 20 minutes after the Senator’s campaign officially launched on Sunday, she received campaign contributions from every state in the country.

The support Senator Klobuchar received in just the first 48 hours reinforces what she said in her speech Sunday: the campaign is a “homegrown one” straight from the heartland.

Amy Klobuchar Sign at Announcement Includes Text Message Instructions.

I’ve been looking through rally signs at www.4President.org and don’t recall seeing one with Text Message Instructions. Most signs include the website now and some in the past included an 800 Number, but might be the first instance of including Text To Information.

New Hampshire Rise Tour: Cory 2020 Announces Details of New Hampshire Visit

On February 16th, 17th, and 18th, the New Hampshire Rise Tour will focus on introducing Granite Staters to Booker’s record of running towards challenges when others had given up, bringing people together to do big things, and building a more fair and just nation for everyone.

About the Campaign
Americans’ faith is shaken. Right now, people fear that the lines that divide us are growing stronger than the ties that bind us. Cory Booker is running for president to change that. He believes that the answer to our common pain is to reignite our sense of common purpose to build a more fair and just nation for everyone.

Together, we will ensure that our generation and those to come will achieve things others say can’t be done. Together, we will rise.
