John,

When Jeff Van Drew had the support of the Democratic Party establishment in 2018, progressive activists in New Jersey tried to make clear that he was a Democrat in name only.

Van Drew had voted against a living wage and marriage equality. He was even proud of his A rating from the NRA. Yet in the 2018 wave election, Democrats wasted winning this flip district on Van Drew anyway, and he went on to vote against impeachment, held a press conference in the Rose Garden with Trump to brag about it, and then changed his party to Republican.

With friends like these...

It's critical this mistake doesn't happen again. The progressive must win the Democratic primary and the chance to defeat turncoat Jeff Van Drew in November.

Will Cunningham, a young, openly gay, Black man who was homeless as a teenager yet went on to become a lawyer with a degree from Brown IS the progressive in the primary -- and he's surging right now. Split a contribution for Will Cunningham and DFA's GOTV campaign to put him the over top:

Jeff Van Drew stole this seat for the Republican Party. Will Cunningham is going to win it back.

Raised by a single mother who worked an hourly wage factory job, Will understands the struggles of what it is like to live paycheck-to-paycheck.

Growing up, Will and his family spent months at a time without heat, hot water, and electricity. They lived for years out of a motel while Will went to High School. These experiences grounded him in reality, but didn't defeat him. Instead, he's a bold and fearless leader who is ready to take on the big changes in government we need to move America forward.

Will knows what happens firsthand when healthcare is not a right, when food isn't on the table, and what it feels like to not have a roof over your head. That's why he supports Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, and a living wage and it's why he'll fight for progressives in Congress from day one.

Will has never forgotten where he came from and now he is working hard to make sure that no family experiences the hardships he faced as a child. To win, Will needs the grassroots support of progressives, like you, who believe in a future that brings power back to the masses. Donate now:

Thank you for fighting for change,
