By limiting its donations to $25,000 per individual, Ready for Hillary is focusing on grassroots support, Parkhomenko said, while Priorities USA Action can seek bigger donations. Parkhomenko said Ready for Hillary doesn’t plan to run any television advertising campaigns, leaving that task to other groups such as Priorities.
Priorities, which raised more than $79 million in the 2012 election, will have Obama campaign manager Jim Messina as a co- chairman for the 2016 election, its executive director, Buffy Wicks, said in a statement Jan. 23.
