Lincoln Project members Reed Galen (Summit Strategic Communications) and Ron Steslow (TUSK Digital) appreciate your support. 
#NeverTrump The Lincoln Project raised $685,071 in the last two weeks of 2019. Of the $100K spent, $50K went to Lincoln Project member Ron Stelow's TUSK Digital, $5K to Lincoln Project's Jennifer Horn, w/$10K in unpaid bills to Lincoln Project's Reed Galen's firm.
