Hey there, John!
We hope you had a fantastic weekend! But today, we need to dive into something crucial—it's about ensuring our community's voice isn't drowned out by big money. Right now, Pennsylvania's richest man, who also happens to be the state's wealthiest Republican, is pouring an unbelievable amount of cash into attacking Summer Lee and boosting her Democratic opponent. It's a clear attempt to tip the scales, and we can't let that happen without a fight.
So, here's the deal: There's this SUPER-rich guy in Pennsylvania, Jeffrey Yass. He's got more money than anyone else in the state and usually supports politicians who don't really look out for folks like us. But get this—the Super PAC he bankrolls is spending a boatload of cash, hundreds of thousands of dollars to be exact, to help Summer’s opponent in the primary race just 36 days away. Weird, right? Especially since he's currently the single largest Republican mega-donor in the entire country.
Why's this a big deal? Well, Jeffrey Yass isn't just any rich guy. He's spent millions trying to get his way in politics, supporting ideas and people that don't really care about our communities. From defunding public education to backing anti-abortion Republicans, he's been all in against policies that hurt people like us. And guess what? Donald Trump thinks this guy is top-notch and even sees him as someone he'd pick for his Treasury Secretary in the White House.
Now, why on earth would someone who usually backs Republican extremists be backing our Democratic opponent in this race? It's simple: Summer stands up to the big-money bullies, and they think her opponent won't be as tough. They're trying to pick someone they can push around, and they know that will NEVER be Summer.
We cannot let Republicans with deep pockets and harmful agendas decide the outcome of our primary. Our democracy is too precious, and the stakes are too high. This is a call to action for all of us who believe in Summer's vision for a fair and inclusive society, free from the grip of billionaire interference.
Your support is about more than just money; it's about standing up for what we believe in and making sure our community is heard, not just the folks with the fattest wallets.
Thanks for being a part of this with us, and thank you for standing strong.
Let’s go get this win!
In solidarity & with much gratitude,
Team Summer Lee
