Team,

As someone who was in Congress for 12 years, I've seen firsthand that Washington doesn't usually embrace bold thinkers like Ilhan Omar -- so it comes as no surprise that the status quo has collectively raised millions of dollars to defeat her.

Ilhan is a leader who is disrupting decades of conventional thinking that has only brought us stunning inequality, weakened public institutions, and an utter lack of preparedness for a global pandemic. She proposes big solutions to big problems that her critics call "unthinkable" and "impossible" -- but she knows that the only unthinkable, impossible thing is to continue to leave millions of Americans behind.

We need Ilhan's bold leadership, now more than ever, in Congress so she can keep fighting to stamp out corporate interests and put working people first. Will you chip in to her re-election campaign to finally put an end to the status quo that got us into this mess? Donate: [link removed]

There are 45 million Americans drowning in student loan debt -- Ilhan says, "Cancel it." Our country is suffering from a housing affordability crisis -- she says, "Homes for all." Families are wondering how they'll pay for the health care they need in this pandemic -- she says, "Medicare for All." Workers have seen stagnant paychecks for decades -- she says, "$15 minimum wage and a union."

Our choice is clear: We can either stick with the gaping inequalities and disparities that have led to the worst depression in our lifetimes, or we can re-elect Ilhan to Congress to keep thinking big and fighting hard for a more just, equal America. I choose Ilhan -- and I hope you will, too.

Chip in to her re-election campaign: [link removed]
