Raelynn — The challenging thing about running for Congress is that your situation can change in an instant.
The day that AIPAC or any other billionaire-backed group gets behind a candidate is the day that this becomes an entirely different race.
AIPAC alone spent over $100,000,000 in elections across the country during the 2024 election cycle. If that sounds like a staggering amount of money, it’s because it is: It’s the most political spending in a single election cycle by any organization in history.
In many cases that money was spent attempting to unseat progressives like me — and in some races, they were successful.
We already learned a few months ago that AIPAC was running polls in my district, testing the waters of supporting a pro-Israel, centrist candidate to run against me.
We have to start preparing for the fight ahead, right here right now.
We can’t be caught off-guard. We can’t be put in a position where we have to play catch-up when we should be ahead.
So, I’m respectfully asking you to chip into my campaign for reelection today.
DONATE
I stand strong on my pledge to reject corporate PAC money because I will never be beholden to corporate interests or far-right lobbyists in Congress who expect me to abandon my working class neighbors in Minneapolis.
But that means we need a huge amount of grassroots donations to keep up with folks like AIPAC and the millions they will spend on attack ads against me.
Friend — We are coming up on our last FEC deadline of the year sooner than you may think. That’s our opportunity to prove the size and strength of our campaign at a time when well-funded opponents may be making their decision on whether they will jump into this race.
Please: Chip in $15, $20, or whatever you can afford today. Help us continue to power our progressive campaign and lay the groundwork for reelection next year.

I hope I can count on your support today!
In solidarity,
— Ilhan
