John,

Today I want to talk about the latest damning report from The Intercept about the deep influence AIPAC has on our elections.

 

The latest reporting from The Intercept reveals the immense influence of AIPAC’s financial contributions in our elections. 

 

These contributions are shifting the balance of power in Congress, and the effects are being felt in races like ours. 

 

One repeating pattern we see across the country is that their money is being used to drown out progressive voices, including mine.

 A screenshot of a headline from The Intercept that reads: “How does AIPAC shape Washington? We tracked every dollar. The Intercept followed AIPAC’s money trail to reveal how its political spending impacts the balance of power in Congress.” Included is a snippet of the article.

One of the most staggering pieces of information from The Intercept article is that AIPAC, through its political arms, has now spent money on over 80% of the seats up for re-election this year.

 

One of the first races they targeted this general election cycle? CA-34. 

They’ve already spent almost $900K to prop up my opponent, Jimmy Gomez – including $500K in TV ads.

 

Why? Because they see our movement for what it is – a threat to the right-wing funded, right wing agenda they’ve spent decades building.

A graphic featuring a headline from Politico with a snippet of the article and a photo of Jimmy Gomez speaking at a press conference. The headline reads: “AIPAC goes in for Jimmy Gomez. The pro-Israel group is boosting Gomez against another California Democrat in the November election.”

If you believe in our fight to put people over special interests, now is the time to step up. Every dollar you contribute helps us fight back against the flood of special interest money pouring into this race.

 

Chip in $5, $10, or whatever you can today to help keep our campaign competitive against corporate cash.

 

AIPAC claims to strengthen and protect U.S.-Israel relations, yet it spends millions to attack members of Congress who don’t align with its hawkish stance - including Jewish House members. 

 

How does undermining Jewish lawmakers committed to peace reflect support for Jewish interests?

 

It’s a stark hypocrisy that reveals AIPAC’s true focus – enforcing a right-wing agenda, funded by conservative billionaires, to advance the extremist policies of Israel’s far-right government.

 

If you want to know why our politicians don’t have the political will or the moral fortitude to demand an arms embargo to end the indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians in Gaza, Lebanon and beyond – look no further than this report.

 

What’s even worse – this type of special interest spending happens every election cycle, seeping into every part of our lives. 

 

It impacts why our rents are high, why wages have stagnated, and why the cost of living is spiraling out of control. 

 

While these lobbyists and special interests bet on flooding the race with corporate cash, we’re betting on people power. 

 

Our campaign doesn’t need to match their millions; we just need to raise enough to keep pace and stay on the airwaves, on the ground, and in digital spaces. 

 

We’ve done it before.

 

Last cycle, Jimmy outspent us 7 to 1, and we still came within just a few votes of defeating him. This time, we’re ready to finish what we started. But we need your help.

 

Contribute today and help us counter the special interest money trying to influence this race. Together, we can show AIPAC, Jimmy, and all their corporate backers that the people of CA-34 can’t be bought.

 

We can show them that the gutter politics of disingenuous attacks and dishonest campaign mailers can’t and won’t win.

 

Let’s finish this fight, for CA-34, for real democracy, and for a future that belongs to all of us.

 

It’s time for us,

 

David Kim
