Tim Canova raises more in his first quarter than any first-time candidate. All from grassroots.

TIM CANOVA RAISES $557,000 IN FIRST QUARTER IN RACE AGAINST DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ

Tim Canova said Monday he’s raised more than $557,000 in the first quarter of 2016 in his bid to unseat Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz from her South Florida congressional seat.


That’s more money than any previous first-time candidate has accumulated in the first quarter of the election year. The sum also tops Wasserman Schultz’s campaign fundraising for any quarter in all of 2014.


According to the digital firm Revolution Messaging, the average contribution to Canova is $20 and only six donors have made the maximum contribution of $2,700. That’s the same as with the Bernie Sanders campaign, where most contributors continue to do so.


Debbie is getting Karma tenfold..... Don't mess with the Bern!

This debunks that completely.

I think Debbie is now praying Clinton wins because that will be the only place she can get a job in politics after her terrible public service thus far.

Looking at the Stats,Canova can do it. This was a real Progressive District. Wasn't DWS a Rahm Emanuel choice?

I think such an early endorsement by Obama is telling that she is scared.

Canova also has National Nurses United backing him

So I guess Bernie is sending money down-ticket! He's doing it the ethical way.
