John,
In case you missed it, progressive rising star, Squad member, and Justice Democrats incumbent Rep. Summer Lee won her Democratic primary for PA-12 yesterday!
She faced an opponent backed by Moderate PAC — which received at least $800,000 from Republican billionaire megadonor Jeff Yass — and she won in a landslide by more than 20 points!
Through your grassroots support, Summer and our movement accomplished what we set out to: we sent a clear message that principled, progressive, people-powered candidates can win big, and this critical House seat is NOT for sale.
Like Summer said in her first post-victory tweet, “Opposing genocide is good politics and good policy.”
Now that our first primary win is in the books, AIPAC has already failed at its mission to oust the Squad from Congress in 2024. But we still have some tough fights ahead, including Jamaal Bowman’s upcoming primary in June, as AIPAC plans to drop $100 million against the rest of the Squad.
We’re running against the clock working to raise $100,000 before April ends for the five most vulnerable Squad members up for re-election this year.
Let’s keep the fight going and protect every morally courageous member of the Squad from far-right megadonor attacks like we just did with Summer.
— Justice Democrats
