John,
My name is Charles Booker. I’m a proud Sunrise-endorsed candidate running against Mitch McConnell. Today, I’m writing because I need your help.
On Thursday, the DSCC (the official Senate campaign arm of the Democratic Party) endorsed my opponent in the primary. Before a single Kentuckian cast a ballot, party bosses in D.C. already hand picked who they think should be the nominee.
It’s not just Kentucky. They pulled the same stunt in Colorado, Texas and other states too. Why? Because the establishment doesn’t like that we are fighting for a Green New Deal. We’re upsetting the status quo.
I’ll be frank. The DSCC doesn’t believe a Green New Deal candidate can beat Mitch McConnell. They truly believe the way to win is by running to the soft center. That’s why they endorsed a Democrat who said Mitch’s problem is that he isn’t passing enough of Trump’s bills. (I’m not kidding!)
We can prove the DSCC wrong, and show them that a Green New Deal can bring us victory in November. But we’ll only get that chance if enough of us make our voices heard right now to stop them from stacking the deck in favor of these handpicked establishment candidates.
