Did you see this, John?

According to Open Secrets, outside spending in U.S. elections hit a record-breaking $4.5 billion in 2024, with more than half of that being dark money from super PACs. As Justice Democrats Rep. Ro Khanna pointed out, more than $250 million of that went to congressional candidates:

Not only that, but Americans for Tax Fairness found that 150 billionaire families poured a record-breaking $1.9 billion into the 2024 election — which is $700 million more than billionaires spent on the 2020 election.

It’s undeniable: Citizens United enabled billionaires and super PACs to buy elections and influence in Congress, and it’s getting worse every cycle.

The Democratic Party has become much too comfortable accepting help from the wealthiest few and corporate special-interest groups while losing touch with working class people. But we’re working to change that with your help.

Justice Democrats is actively recruiting everyday working Americans — nurses, principals, union workers, and community organizers — to run for Congress in order to transform our economy and democracy, but we can’t do it without grassroots support from people like you.

With our November end-of-month fundraising deadline rapidly approaching at midnight, will you pitch in $5 or more to fuel our Candidate Recruitment Fund and build people power in Washington?

The more working class people we send to Congress, the sooner we can end billionaires’ and super PACs’ grip on the Democratic Party and start passing the bold, progressive change our communities deserve.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
