WITH 99% FROM SMALL DONATIONS, ANDREW YANG RAISES 1.7M IN LESS THAN 2 MONTHS
NEW YORK, NEW YORK —With the support of tens of thousands across the country, Andrew Yang is building a people-fueled political powerhouse to be reckoned with.
The campaign reports a preliminary fundraising haul of $1.7 million from over 80,000 individual donors in February and March alone, with 99 percent of all donations coming in under $200, and an average donation of $17.92.
"An outsider candidate raising nearly $2 million in two months in entirely small contributions is unheard of. Andrew Yang has proven he can build an online fundraising army from scratch - the Yang Gang effect is real," said Campaign Manager Zach Graumann.
Yang will make the case for the Freedom Dividend on the first Democratic presidential debate in Miami in late June, becoming the first non-elected official to have made the stage in the last 40 years since Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
