Marianne Williamson in The Hill 2020s


On Principles & Values: Requested that her donors support Mike Gravel

Author and 2020 presidential candidate Marianne Williamson's campaign used a fundraising email to help one of her primary opponents garner enough donors to qualify for the next round of debates. Williamson's campaign email asked recipients to support former Sen. Mike Gravel, who is roughly 10,000 individual donors short of the threshold to qualify for the next round of Democratic debates.

"You may not have heard of him because he hasn't yet qualified for any debates," the email reads, referring to Gravel. "But his voice is important."

The email, signed by Williamson, touts Gravel's body of work in Congress and "diverse and provocative" voice as reasons he should be on the debate stage next to her. "Thanks to you, I'm on the debate stage. I'm using this platform, granted to me by you, to ask for your help," and asks donors to consider giving Gravel a dollar to increase his individual donor count.

[Gravel made the donor count but did not make the cut for the 20 slots in the July debate].
