John, it’s Susan Wild. I’m here to talk to you about my trusted friend, Carol Obando-Derstine, who is running for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 7th District. 

I won’t sugarcoat it: this race is going to be tough, but I know Carol is our best chance at flipping this district from red to blue. Before I tell you more about Carol, can I count on your support to help Carol lay the foundation for a winning campaign and defeat Ryan Mackenzie in 2026? Split a donation between Blue Amp Action and Carol today.

I’m lucky to know this community better than most. I’ve lived in the Lehigh Valley for more than three decades: it’s the only place I’ve ever truly called home. I love the Lehigh Valley – and I trust Carol to fight for it in Congress, just like I did. 

I also know firsthand how tough it is to win here. The NRCC and dark money groups poured millions into electing Ryan Mackenzie last year – a career politician who’s more focused on giving tax cuts to billionaires than helping families at home put food on the table –and they’ll spend even more to keep him there. 

Carol’s not a career politician: she’s a mother, an engineer, and a community leader who has dedicated her career to helping others. She has spent the last two decades in this district working with people, small businesses, and nonprofits, striving to create a community that works for everyone. 

Carol understands the issues facing this district, and I know she has what it takes to win. 

But this is a toss-up, which means it’s going to be one of the most competitive and expensive races in the country. It also means that it’s one of our best chances at taking back the House majority. 

This is our moment to bring real representation back to the district. Will you split a contribution today and join me in supporting Carol as she takes on Ryan Mackenzie in the race for Pennsylvania’s 7th district?

About Blue Amp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do!
