John,
AIPAC is pouring waves upon waves of money into this year’s primary elections. Especially in an attempt to unseat progressive champions in Congress.
But what a lot of voters still don’t realize is that millions of dollars of AIPAC donations are coming straight from the coffers of Republican donors.
According to a new report by Politico,1 46% of donors who’ve given to Democrats via AIPAC this cycle have also given to Republicans in the past. Which makes AIPAC the single largest source of right-wing cash in Democratic primaries.
Their top target — to the tune of $10 million spent against him so far — is Jamaal Bowman. And it’s going to take a MASSIVE team effort to hold the line over the next two weeks.
Help fight back against AIPAC’s relentless, Republican-funded attacks by splitting a donation today between Jamaal Bowman and WFP. There are only 15 days until the election, and their spending is ramping up even more.
Pitch in $10 »
AIPAC (and the many lifelong GOP donors who fill their ranks) realize that if they can’t elect a Republican in a strong-blue district, then the next best thing is to support the most right-wing Democrat in the race.
That’s what they tried to do against Summer Lee. And the only reason they failed is because a movement of working people in Pennsylvania out-organized and out-muscled them on the ground.
That’s what they’re doing, right now, in New York against Jamaal Bowman.
AIPAC has raised more money for Bowman’s primary opponent this cycle than any other candidate on their roster. And the AIPAC-affiliated United Democracy Project has spent an additional $9.3 million against Jamaal Bowman, too.
So now is the time to sound the alarms, John. Jamaal Bowman is one of the strongest, most courageous champions we have in Congress. He has ALWAYS had our back — let’s make sure we have his back too.
Split a donation today with WFP and Jamaal Bowman’s campaign, and ensure we have the resources, volunteers, and organizers needed to combat this onslaught of right-wing money.
Thank you,
Team WFP
