COLUMBUS DISPATCH HEADLINE: African Americans are being infected and dying
at a higher rate than any other group in Ohio.

The New York Times compared my candidacy to AOC's.

As I said on a Zoom call with PCCC members, we can win my race for
Congress next week with your help.

Friend,

Here in Columbus, Ohio -- where I grew up and am now running for Congress
-- I see the reality up close that spurs headlines like this.

Economic segregation in a pandemic means living in densely-packed
communities with no way to effectively isolate. It means continuing to go
to your high-risk job because you and your family can't afford to lose
your modest income.

And it means living with preexisting health conditions stemming from
systemic barriers like economic instability and limited access to healthy
food and healthcare systems -- conditions that make you more susceptible
to the worst effects of the virus.

Now more than ever, we need a new generation of leaders who will fight for
solutions for underserved communities. Elizabeth Warren's Essential Worker
Bill of Rights would make sure essential workers during the crisis get
paid sick leave and premium pay. Medicare for All would begin to address
the health disparities in our communities.

My opponent in next week's election, Rep. Joyce Beatty, has called
Medicare for All a "pipe dream." Until we replace elected officials like
her with people who will fight for the change we need, she's right. That's
why this election is so important.

[ [link removed] ]My opponent takes 80% of her money from corporations, which she’s using
to run a flurry of ads against me in the final weeks before the April 28
election. Can you chip in to our all-grassroots campaign and help us bulk
up our own ads in these final critical days? CLICK HERE to rush a

As I shared with PCCC members on a [ [link removed] ]Zoom video call last week, a major
takeaway from my years as a senior advisor at the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau is that a big reason people are skeptical of government
is that we have had a generation of corporate-driven political leadership.
Voters have grown up seeing government working for big business while
their basic needs remain unmet.

My opponent is a perfect example of this. Rep. Beatty has taken over $2
million from corporate PACs, and it's easy to see how that impacts her
work as a legislator. She has sheltered predatory payday lenders and let
auto lenders off the hook for discriminating against people of color.
[ [link removed] ]In this very blue district, we can do better -- and I'll win with your
help.

There’s no way I would ever sell out my community like that -- this is the
community that gave me, an infant with an uncertain future, a real shot at
life.

My mother, an immigrant from Trinidad, supported me and my brother while
facing constant financial stress throughout our childhood. I received
financial aid to attend a prep school in OH, and then received financial
aid to Tufts (BA), Princeton (MA) and Stanford (JD). I developed an
intense commitment to fighting inequality after seeing how opportunities
open up, no matter your upbringing, once you're equipped with resources.

My number one priority is ending systemic economic segregation. I’m
convinced we need a new generation of bold leadership in Congress to
ensure that my story is every child’s story regardless of the
circumstances of one’s birth.

(You can also [ [link removed] ]sign up to join other volunteers and contact key voters
by phone. Put your own social distancing time to good use! Ads are
important, but these calls are our key to victory.)

The coronavirus crisis has put the ugly face of inequality on full
display. Let’s use this moment of clarity to make some real, lasting
change.
