John,
Every Democratic member of Congress is facing one big question right now: What are you doing to fight back against Trump, Elon Musk, and the chaos they’re fueling?
Well, this week, Summer Lee made her answer loud and clear — with action, not words.
Here’s how Summer showed up and showed out this week:
✅ She stood up for our kids by denouncing Trump’s dangerous executive order to dismantle the Department of Education — a direct attack on our public schools, teachers, and students.
✅ She took on the billionaire donors by introducing legislation to abolish Super PACs once and for all, putting power back in the hands of the people, not the ultra-wealthy.
✅ She led the charge on environmental justice by organizing over 100 of her colleagues to demand the EPA restore the offices that protect frontline communities — because climate justice is racial and economic justice.
✅ She defended free speech and human rights by joining over 30 lawmakers demanding answers from ICE and DHS after the disturbing arrest of a Tufts University student — who appears to have been detained simply for expressing her political views. Summer is making it clear: we will not allow authoritarian crackdowns on student voices in America.
✅ She championed equal pay for equal work by advocating during an Education and Workforce Committee hearing for policies that ensure all workers receive fair compensation, regardless of gender or background. Summer is committed to closing the wage gap and promoting economic justice for all.
That’s what real leadership looks like. That’s what fighting back looks like.
But while Summer is busy putting in the work, a new Democratic challenger is spending his time — and money — trying to unseat her. Not Trump. Not MAGA Republicans. Not Elon Musk. Summer.
And with just 3 days left in the month and the quarter, we need to send a message — loud and clear — that we’re not backing down. Not now. Not ever.
This isn’t just about one campaign. It’s about whether progressives who actually fight back can survive the onslaught of billionaires, right-wing chaos agents, and establishment challengers.
If you’re proud of the work Summer Lee is doing — real work, in the halls of Congress, every single week — then this is the moment to show it.
Thanks for standing with us — and with Summer — in this fight.
In solidarity,
Team Summer Lee
