John,

With less than a week to go until the Pennsylvania primary on April 23rd, we need all hands on deck in the fight to re-elect a true progressive fighter and leader in our people-powered movement — Pittsburgh’s champion, Summer Lee. If you haven’t already seen the news, Summer’s race is full of 🚩 BIG RED FLAGS 🚩 that EVERY voter deserves to know about, especially now with less than 1 week to go.

But before we get into it, consider clicking here to make a donation to Summer Lee’s campaign today. With all the Republican money stacked against her, we need all hands on deck to help her fight back! Whether it’s $5, $50, or $500 — every dollar counts!

GOP MEGADONOR'S PAC FIRES OFF FIRST ADS IN SUMMER LEE'S DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY
Moderate PAC, funded by Republican megadonor Jeff Yass, became the first outside group to run ads in a contested Democratic primary.

Here’s what Summer is up against:

  • PA’s richest Republican and the #1 Republican donor in the entire country, Jeff Yass, has already spent a WHOPPING **$800,000** against Summer. Instead of challenging her policies, these ads lie to voters about Summer’s record and prop up her “Democratic” opponent. The shocking part is that Yass has spent more money trying to help Summer’s opponent than her opponent has spent on their own campaign!

Why is this a big deal?

On top of ALL that, Summer’s Democratic opponent actually asked Republicans to switch parties just to vote against her in the primary. This is a clear attempt to push out a leader like Summer who has always stood up for what's right — like better jobs, clean air and water, and making sure everyone has a fair shot.

The Intercept_: At a closed-door fundraiser, Bhavini Patel told donors she was strategizing to get Republicans to vote against Lee in the Democratic primary.

They’re afraid of what Summer stands for because she's tough, she never gives up, and she will always challenge the status quo for the good of the people. The Republican billionaires know Summer is a strong candidate that won’t be bought out by big money, and they're pulling out every single trick in the book to take her down.

We have to ask ourselves: Why would a Republican spend so much money to help a Democrat? It’s not support, it’s strategy! Now more than ever, we have to have Summer's back. We are appealing to all our supporters and allies to rally behind her and help counteract the Republican billionaires trying to play in our primaries!

Your contribution today can make a real difference as we work to inform voters and combat these shady tactics. Will you click here today, donate a few bucks, and show Summer that we ALL have her back just like she has ours?

It’s “Summer-Time!” Let's show them what we're made of and keep fighting for what's right! Our progressive movement has always been about sticking together and protecting the future we all want and deserve.

Thank you for being there, for believing in Summer, and for fighting for a future where everyone gets a fair shot!

In solidarity,
