Campaign Memo: 11k Donors Power Campaign Past Matching Threshold + 3,500 Volunteers Sign Up in 30 Days

In just the first month since Andrew Yang announced his candidacy for Mayor of New York City, we have built a massive and growing network of grassroots support across all five boroughs that has brought thousands of New Yorkers into the political process who share Andrew’s vision for a robust and equitable recovery to build New York City back how it deserves to be, not as it was. Our campaign has generated a groundswell of enthusiasm and activism from New Yorkers of all backgrounds and ideologies as we move towards the Democratic Primary election on June 22nd. Andrew is running a campaign both in person and online that reflects where most New Yorkers are. While the other campaigns have tried to make the case that Andrew is only benefiting from high name recognition, the metrics in the race prove it goes far beyond that, and that Andrew has a powerful and organic connection with voters. None of the below even tries to account for RCV, which we believe will benefit Andrew greatly. Because we don’t fall into one traditional “lane”, we expect to take some voters from every lane as first, second or third choice.
