John, I wanted to reach out to you all directly to share an update.
Hearing from so many people throughout Massachusetts encouraging me to run for the United States Senate was deeply humbling and a testament to the strength of our movement.
I feel heartened and encouraged by the coalition that has emerged encouraging me to take a look at this, and seeing the strong path to victory, I spent deliberate time giving a statewide run the careful consideration it deserves.
Ultimately, at this moment, I feel called to my community and my family. Our district, the Massachusetts 7th, is squarely in the crosshairs of the Trump White House. The fear and trauma felt in our communities and across the country right now is all too real — and I am resolved to continue fighting for my district.
So I’m proud to formally share that I’m running for re-election to the House of Representatives in 2026. And as a reminder, this movement doesn’t organize for the sake of a single electoral cycle — but with an eye on generations to come.
So if you’re able, will you please split a contribution between The Squad Victory Fund and our campaign to kick off the next phase of our work with the strongest possible momentum behind us?

In this next term, I plan to continue standing in the gap and holding the line against this hostile White House that means harm to everyone in our district and country. That means:
- Fighting back against the White House’s attacks on the LGBTQ+ community, Black and brown folks, federal workers, and our immigrant neighbors.
- Continuing to use my committee roles to conduct oversight and make progress on everything from housing affordability, AI and crypto oversight, to accountability for survivors of Epstein’s abuse.
- Leading the Reproductive Freedom Caucus to protect and expand abortion access with a House majority.
- Continuing to advance bold, comprehensive policies that meet the moment and address the affordability crisis — like lowering the cost of housing, investing in affordable childcare, ending the pushout of Black women from the workforce, closing the racial wealth gap, and more.
These are not nice-to-haves, these are must-haves for the people I represent in Massachusetts and folks across the country.
Now, more than ever, is the time to dig deep, to lean into mutual aid, and to use every tool available to stand in the gap in defense of our neighbors and our democracy. That’s exactly what this campaign is going to do — and we’re going to keep powering our work like we always have: with small-dollar, grassroots support.
So if you can today, please split a donation to support The Squad Victory Fund and our campaign to help kick off our 2026 campaign fighting for bold action and transformative policies in Massachusetts and across the country.
I am incredibly honored to have your support. Thank you for everything.
In solidarity,
Ayanna
