John,
Wow, what a night it was at our campaign launch party! The energy, the enthusiasm, the determination in the room was overwhelming. It's clear that our grassroots movement is stronger than ever, and it's all thanks to supporters like you who have been with us every step of the way.
Since 2018, when I was just a 30-year-old from the Mon Valley, we've been on an incredible journey together. We've challenged the status quo, fought for what's right, and brought hope to communities that have long been neglected. And guess what? We've proven the naysayers wrong time and time again.
Our opponents said we were too radical, too extreme, and too bold. They questioned our ability to bring about real change. But look at what we've achieved together! Over $600 million brought home to our district for housing, transportation, infrastructure, and investments in marginalized communities. We've expanded the electorate, advocated for environmental justice, and pushed for legislation that benefits working-class people.
But the fight is far from over. We face a storm on the horizon—well-funded opponents who will stop at nothing to derail our movement. We can't let that happen. We need to stand together, stronger than ever, and show them that our values, our compassion, and our dedication is unwavering!
We've doubled voter turnout, engaged communities, and tirelessly knocked on doors. But we need resources to continue this crucial work—races cost money, and that's where your support comes in.
TV ads, mailers, and campaign essentials come at a significant cost. Our opponents may have deep pockets and millions from dark $ billionaire donors, but we have the mightiest movement in the country—a movement rooted in inclusivity, equity, and justice. Together, we can win, no matter the obstacles we face.
I’m running for office because if we don’t have BOLD voices in Congress right now, then the growing tide of fascism will come to our shores.
Our campaign is a testament to what's possible when we unite for a common cause. Together, we'll continue to push boundaries, challenge the status quo, and build a better future for EVERYONE. We will not leave a single person behind in our movement!
Thank you for standing with us. Thank you for being part of this remarkable movement. Let's keep pushing forward, making history, and proving that we can create the change we believe in.
Let’s show up and show them AGAIN why they can’t do what we do!
Forever in this fight with you,
Summer Lee
