In just a few minutes from this post going live, the fifth Democratic Presidential debates will begin on NBC. I’ll try to be live-tweeting and let you know if anyone is emailing during the debates.
I got a new toy for my emails, so today we’re going to go over candidate word frequency in their emails!
There are ten candidates on stage. These are their top 10 favorite words of each month, all combined into one graph. The darker the segment, the more recent the emails.
I removed references to their own name, their main campaign HQ, and common words.
Joe Biden
Cory Booker
Pete Buttigieg
Tulsi Gabbard
Kamala Harris
Amy Klobuchar
Bernie Sanders
Tom Steyer
Elizabeth Warren
Andrew Yang
But their emails! 
I love these charts, Aimin! I am really surprised that ‘believe ‘ only showed up in two of these lists! Do any of the candidates have any interesting words that they’ve used uniquely?

Not really, not beyond the top words in the charts. It’s still a fascinating breakdown. Kamala’s ActBlue disclaimer being on top really surprised me!

Yes, that’s surprising and certainly revealing. I felt the same way about your note on Warren’s chart. I am curious about whether there will be any noticeable shift in her email rhetoric now that she’s announced her M4A transition. I don’t actually expect one, but it would definitely reinforce the idea that there’s been some kind of change in her strategy.
