John, we wanted to make sure you saw this really important campaign update from Pramila over the weekend.
News broke that a poll went out across Seattle to test the waters for a primary challenge to unseat Pramila. Help us send a clear message that we won’t be intimidated. Chip in to our campaign today.
This is the surest sign yet that Pramila is on the 2024 target list for corporate special interests and AIPAC’s Republican megadonors.
We can’t waste a moment.
Together,
Team Pramila

John,
I wanted you to hear this from me first. Our campaign just learned a poll went out across Seattle to test the waters for a primary challenge to unseat me.
I want you to know I will not be intimidated. I am ready to beat back any attacks corporate special interests or AIPAC’s Republican megadonors send our way.
This is the surest sign yet that I am on their target list for 2024. We can’t waste a moment. Can you make a contribution of any amount right now to support my campaign? This poll pushed out some nasty attacks against me. We’ve seen this script before: first the poll, then the attack ads.
Megadonors have already committed to spending $100 million on ads against progressive champions of color in the House. Frankly, I'm not surprised that I'm on their list.
John, we have to take this seriously.
My campaign has been hard at work organizing in every corner of my district for years. Our re-election effort launched last month with over 25 unions, abortion rights organizations, and local leaders endorsing our campaign. This is real grassroots power. But we can’t sit back and wait.
We must be prepared for anything to come our way. And yes that means potentially millions in nasty, sexist attack ads funded by Republican billionaires slamming the airwaves. But here is the thing: We know how to win! We know that it’s “people power” that wins elections.
I am ready for any fight that comes our way. And I hope you are ready too.
Solidarity,
Pramila Jayapal
