A pro-Booker super PAC raised $1.1 million in first half of 2019
A super PAC formed to back Cory Booker's presidential campaign has raised $1.125 million so far, with almost all of the funds coming from Susan Sandler, the wife of the super PAC's operator.
The PAC, Dream United, was formed late in 2018 by donor and activist Steve Phillips, an early supporter of Barack Obama's run for the presidency who ran an outside group supporting Obama during the 2008 primary. This year, Phillips' effort to back Booker with big money has faced anti-super PAC headwinds, as many Democratic candidates — including Booker himself — say they don't want the support of super PACs formed to back them.
"Over the past six months, I have traveled across the country meeting with dozens of Cory Booker supporters, and based on those conversations, I am confident we will be able to conduct a $5-$10 million voter mobilization effort in support of Booker’s candidacy," Phillips said. In addition to Sandler, donors to Dream United include investor Boykin Curry and lawyer Eunu Chun. The PAC recently started work to contact half a million voters in primary states.
Dream United and a number of other groups will file Federal Election Commission reports with detailed information about their activity during the first six months of the year by July 31. Presidential candidates are filing FEC reports on Monday detailing their fundraising and campaign spending from April through June.
