ANDREW YANG RAISES NEARLY $600,000 IN FEBRUARY
$426,000 in small dollar donations alone, average contribution $13
NEW YORK, NEW YORK —Thanks to the support of thousands of people across the country, Andrew Yang set a historic new record for his presidential campaign during February. At the beginning of this campaign, political pundits referred to Andrew as a ‘longshot candidate,’ but he is now on track to meet the qualifications to participate in the first Democratic debate. With more than 70% of Yang’s monthly total for February raised by small dollar donations of under $200, Yang’s February haul is proof that his message of The Freedom Dividend ($1000/month for all Americans) is resonating with voters across the country.
February was the largest monthly total for online fundraising since the launch of Yang's presidential campaign in December 2017, and the average donation of $13.17 from over 32,000 small-dollar donors shows the grassroots support for his campaign.
"This is one of the more impressive fundraising displays in modern political history," said Yang's campaign manager, Zach Graumann. "Our so-called "long-shot" candidate raised nearly half a million dollars from small donors since Feb 12, and still many voters have not heard of Andrew Yang. The vision of the Freedom Dividend has resonated with tens of thousands of Americans, and we look forward to fighting for this vision on the national debate stage in June."
