John,
We are officially less than three weeks away from Summer Lee’s primary in Pennsylvania, and the attack ads are only going to get worse.
A super PAC funded by GOP mega donor and billionaire, Jeff Yass, has already spent half a million dollars in the district over the past few weeks.1
And AIPAC has pledged to spend over $100 million this year to defeat progressives like her2 — a big step up from the $4 million they spent trying to knock her out of the race in 2022.
These groups wouldn’t be spending so heavily unless they thought the race was a toss-up. That’s why we’re asking for your help today, John.
Please split a donation between WFP and Summer Lee’s campaign right now, to give both of us the resources necessary to reach out to voters and combat the right-wing smear campaigns that are blanketing the airwaves.

Obviously we are in no position to match the bottomless pockets of a right-wing group like AIPAC. But we have a few VERY important things that they don’t:
-
A winning message centered on policies that put workers and constituents first. While Lee’s opponents rattle their sabers and fearmonger, we’ll continue talking to voters face to face about the biggest issues impacting them on a day to day basis.
-
A broad grassroots coalition. Summer Lee is backed by countless members of Congress and organizations, all with a long and storied track record of advocating for working families nationwide. Meanwhile, groups like AIPAC proudly endorse right-wing extremists on a regular basis.
-
Support from folks like you. Our movement to win a better future for all of us is a vibrant one. We take great pride in the fact that our average donation in 2024 is just $20. It gives us a mandate — from every single donor, volunteer, and supporter — to continue fighting for YOUR interests. Not the interests of some GOP billionaire and heir-apparent to Trump’s cabinet.3
We have our work cut out for us. And our window is rapidly shrinking.
So please, rush a split donation between us and Summer Lee, and give us the critical support necessary to reach voters and spread our message in PA-12 before the primary on April 23rd.

Thank you,
Team WFP
