John, people like you and me aren't scared of Trump and Elon –
so why is national Democratic leadership?
I'm Kat Abughazaleh, and these two guys can't STAND me! That's why I'm
running for Congress in Illinois' 9th Congressional District.

At my day job for Media Matters, I used to watch and call out primetime
Fox News to ensure Democrats knew exactly how to fight back. In my free
time, I started creating video explainers about this Fox News
misinformation, and I found that folks responded better to humor and
authenticity than they did to the same old strategies.
Then, Elon Musk sued our organization, and I lost my job.
But I didn't give up the fight: I mastered the art of triggering powerful
conservative figures while also deradicalizing average social media users.
This would be funny if it weren't so serious, and I believe it's important
to actually call out the bullshit that's untrue and harming our lives.
Elon STILL had a problem with me (I think I hurt his feelings), and he
deposed me for hours on end. If this sounds familiar, it’s because Elon
Musk is currently doing the exact same thing, but to our entire government
and country.
I know how these people think. I know how to beat them. And I want to make their
jobs as difficult as humanly possible.
Every elected official should be putting everything on the line to stop
Trump and Elon, but many aren’t because they’re afraid. They're sticking
to the same strategies which are simply not meeting the moment. Why the
hell is our leadership doing nothing?
That's why I'm running for Congress. When elected, I'll be the youngest
woman and second Palestinian-American in Congress. But more importantly,
I’m equipped to stand up for the Americans who are justifiably freaking
out over the fascist takeover of our government.
Let's try something better. Democrats need to fight fascism at every
opportunity. We need to offer folks an alternative vision, and we can't
compromise on our beliefs and move to the right.
And that's why I'm running a different type of campaign – this is NOT a
fundraising email. I'm reaching out because I just want you to know that
there are Democrats who are passionate and energetic fighters and who
aren’t scared of Elon Musk.
Campaigns usually buy data in bulk, send out as many emails as possible to
grassroots supporters like you, and take your support for granted. But I
want to do something different — something BETTER.
That’s why while I might eventually ask concerned citizens like you for
campaign contributions, I want your first impression of me to be just
about me, not about money.

frustrated that Democratic leaders aren’t doing enough, will you let me
know by signing on to our supporter list? I promise it's not an ActBlue
page and won’t redirect to one.
