John,
Wow, what a day yesterday was! Summer took the debate stage by storm, standing tall against her opponents, and WOW, did she shine!
Summer wasn't just talking; she was preaching the truth—speaking up for a brighter future for all of us – Black folks, brown folks, LGBTQ+ folks, working-class folks, poor folks, and everyone else who's been pushed to the side.
While Summer was all about the issues, talking about making life better for everyone, her opponents were hellbent on making this election negative, using their time to attack Summer and the families of PA-12. One of them even had the nerve to say folks in our district "have no families" and "live in squalor." 😳 Just like you probably are right now, the audience was shocked at the brazen racism and classism from someone running to represent the same people she was attacking.
Summer’s other opponent started the debate immediately attacking Summer, constantly interrupting and speaking over her, while continuously trying to divide the communities of PA-12 against each other for her own benefit. Her campaign is increasingly one against Summer - not one for the people of PA-12.
Nowhere was that clearer than when the candidates were given the option to answer what one bill they would pass in Congress with a magic wand. Summer, without hesitation, said she would overturn Citizens United—the Supreme Court decision that allowed for the unlimited influence of dark money Super PACs and corporations on our elections that are directly responsible for crises from abortion rights to gun violence protection and our democracy. Her opponent? Didn’t even answer, instead felt the need to use her time to distance herself from dark money Super PACs. If you ask us, that's a big red flag!
This type of behavior on the debate stage from her opponents raises the question: If they can’t handle a simple debate, how are they going to handle representing us in Congress?
Summer's the real deal, the only one on that stage who truly gets what it means to represent us in Congress. She's fighting for our struggles, our hopes, our dreams, and our future.
Summer's got this, and with our support, she's unstoppable. Let's show them what we're made of!
Thanks for being the best team out there. Let's make Summer proud today!
In solidarity,
Team Summer Lee
