Sinema Challenger Gallego Sets Arizona Fundraising Record With $1 Million 24-Hour Haul

Sinema Challenger Gallego Sets Arizona Fundraising Record With $1 Million 24-Hour Haul - CommonDreams

Just over 24 hours after announcing his 2024 U.S. Senate candidacy for Sen. Kyrsten Sinema's seat in Arizona, Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego set multiple fundraising records and made clear the vast difference between his approach to public service and that of his opponent.

Gallego announced he has already raised more than $1 million, bringing in more than 27,000 donations since launching his campaign Monday morning.

The congressman broke Sen. Mark Kelly's (D-Ariz.) previous 24-hour fundraising record in the state—doing so in just eight hours—and distinguished his relationship with small donors from Sinema's (I-Ariz.) reliance on Wall Street and corporate PACs for contributions.

The individual donations Gallego has already received in just one day surpass the amount that "Sen. Kyrsten Sinema has received in the last three years," said his campaign.

8. No surprise. I donated on Monday. Boycott corporations that donate to Sinema,

and we'll leave her up the creek without a paddle.

When RW corporations see how strong the support for Ruben is, they'll be hesitant to support her, especially with the threat of a serious boycott hanging over their heads.

If Sinema was ever really one of us, she will not run for another term, for the good of the people of the US, and of Arizona. OTOH, if she does run, we'll know for sure what many of us have suspected all along about her allegiances.
