John,
Time is running out and Rep. Summer Lee’s Democratic primary race is heating up as we get closer to the April 23 election.
Summer took her so-called Democratic challenger head-on at a debate Thursday night, where she pointed out the hypocrisy of her opponent attacking her while being propped up by a Super PAC funded by Republican billionaire Jeff Yass:
“My opponent's outwardly calling for Republicans to vote for her. She's backed by Jeffrey Yass—the richest man in PA—who's spent all his money eroding public education & abortion rights. And right now, he’s on the shortlist to be Donald Trump’s Treasury Secretary. Her entire campaign is backed by Republicans, yet she says I am not a good enough Democrat. It feels like she’s implying that there’s enough room for Joe Manchins in the Democratic Party, but not a Black woman fighting for her own community.”
So far, Moderate PAC has reserved more than $500,000 worth of TV and digital ads attacking Summer since the year started.
Super PACs bankrolled by anti-abortion, anti-education, and pro-Trump GOP billionaires have no place in our Democratic primaries or our democracy.
Summer will never stop defending our abortion rights, protecting our public schools, or demanding billionaires pay their fair share. Everything that billionaires like Jeffrey Yass spend millions trying to stop. Let’s do everything we can to keep her fighting for the people of Western Pennsylvania in Congress.
