WASHINGTON Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts raised more than $6 million in the first quarter of the year, her campaign said on Wednesday, trailing some Democratic rivals but exceeding the campaigns worst-case fears after some early fund-raising troubles and the departure of her finance director.
Ms. Warren received more than 213,000 contributions from more than 135,000 donors, with an average donation of $28, her campaign said. She also had a strong finish to the quarter. The campaign raised more than $1.4 million during the last week of the quarter and received more than 50,000 new donations during that period, exceeding its goal of 35,000 new donations.
The numbers offer the most detailed window into the financial outlook of Ms. Warrens campaign, which had, to this point, released little information about its ability to raise funds. Ms. Warren has raised eyebrows and won supporters for her decision to swear off high-dollar fund-raising events and rest her campaigns hopes on small-dollar donations.
The figures on donations came after her campaign put out urgent warnings that fund-raising was critical to perceptions of Ms. Warrens strength. And, while better than some had feared, they still left her trailing some key rivals.

She has always impressed me but never more than she has in this campaign. Her CNN town hall was great.

I think I would feel very good voting for her in both the primary and the general.

every month, but I go directly to elizabethwarren.com . How can she tell how many donors contribute to her campaign every month if she shares it with act blue?

When you donate at elizabethwarren.com you are using Act Blue. When you click donate you go to this address: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ew-homepage-hero?refcode=web-nav
You will be asked to tip Act Blue too. But it is optional.
Act Blue does all the bookkeeping. Page hits. Donations. Average per donation. Conversion rate. How many were done on a mobile phone. How many are recurring. Etc. All this is tracked in real time.
The only advantage to donating to any of the DU POTUS candidates we have is the running total. DU for Bernie raised OVER $77,000 in 2015-2016.
Joe Biden: coming soon once he announces.

(5,644 posts)6. Thanks, Steve...
I saw her on Stephanie Ruhle's show this morning and she is saying she needs help with contributions and to go to 'elizabethwarren.com', so I will continue with where she referred me to until she mentions 'act blue'...sorry.
For all I know, it could be the same place but as long as I can get her on the stage...
