NY-29: Just $2,000 More

Posted by DavidNYC

Yesterday, Eric Massa said he needed $15,000 more by tonight's filing deadline. The netroots swing into action, here, here, and here - and that's just the sites I'm aware of. I'm sure others have jumped on board as well. When we started the push just yesterday, the combined netroots page showed 40 total donations for $1,856.54, and 721 donations across all ActBlue pages for a total of $57,584.43.

As of right now, we've clocked in an even 200 donations on the netroots page, adding up to $6,556.10. Meanwhile, the entire ActBlue community now stands at 930 donations, equalling $69,678.06 raised. Pretty impressive - but we're not done yet. Massa still needs another $2,000 to hit his goal. I think we can definitely help him across the finish line here. I just gave $25.01 myself. If you are able to contribute, now is the time. Let's do this thing!

UPDATE: We did it! We more than did it, in fact. Eric's ActBlue total stands at just a couple bucks shy of an even $75,000. That means he raised some $17,500 online in under a day-and-a-half, exceeding his goal of $15K. Can't wait to see what his final total quarterly numbers are. Great work, everyone!

How did Eric do?

He's $3 shy of $75k, so Eric blew the roof off his goal. That's encouraging!

Awesome! 5x the goal that is great. Khul is in big trouble.

The original goal yesterday was $15K. As I note in the update, Eric beat that by a good chunk.

Oh no no no... the goal was to raise $15k in the last 48 hours. That $75k figure is Eric's TOTAL Actblue fundraising. So he exceeded his goal by about $3.5k, which is pretty darn good for a guy who had $55k through Actblue just a few days ago. He'll also have the traditional PAC and mail donations to tally up, too. This is going to be a great race to watch.

This along with the 24th are 2 districts that we should win off the Repubs in New York.

Just gave to Massa NY-29 & Busby CA-50 & ActBlue, I'll skip dinners out this weekend, because it is worth it.
