Senator Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign announced it will increase staffing in Super Tuesday states, make ad buys of $5.5 million in ten states, and expand prior investments in Texas and California, following January's $25 million fundraiser effort.

"Bernie's multiracial, multigenerational, people-driven movement for change is fueling 2020's most aggressive campaign for president," Sanders' campaign manager Faiz Shakir said. "Working class Americans giving $18 at a time are putting our campaign in a strong position to compete in states all over the map."

The Sanders campaign will immediately increase staffing in Super Tuesday states and invest more than $5.5 million in television and digital ads in eight new states, including Arkansas, Colorado, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Utah, and expand buys previously made in California and Texas.

The investment follows a January that was the campaign's single best fundraising month to date with over 1.3 million donations from more than 648,000 people. Over 219,000 new donors gave in January. 

"Teacher" was the most common occupation of Sanders' January donors, the five most common employers were Amazon, Starbucks, Walmart, the United States Postal Service and Target, and the average donation was $18.72.

The total does not include an additional $12.7 million in transfers all made in 2019 from Sanders' other federal accounts.
