John,
I wanted to follow up on the message we sent yesterday because with just 48 hours left in the year, it’s worth remembering how hard Summer has fought for us this year.
When powerful people thought the Epstein files would stay buried, Summer didn’t just tweet about it — she led the effort to subpoena them, forcing accountability and helping kick off a much larger push to expose corruption at the highest levels.
That’s who Summer is. She doesn’t just name the problem, she takes it head-on, even when it makes powerful people uncomfortable and puts a bigger target on her back.
At midnight on December 31, our end-of-year fundraising numbers become public. Those numbers will be watched closely by big donors, corporate PACs, political operatives, and the same forces already looking for opportunities to take Summer Lee out.
Here’s why this matters so much: early fundraising strength doesn’t just help us pay for organizing — it helps deter attacks before they start.
Strong numbers say:
Weak numbers send the opposite message and invite exactly the kind of outside spending we’ve seen used to knock out progressive champions in other races.
That’s why this people-powered movement matters so much.
This campaign doesn’t have corporate PACs waiting in the wings. It has people — teachers, nurses, students, parents, workers — who believe this seat belongs to the people and are willing to stand up to corruption and protect it.
And moments like this are when that belief turns into real protection.
Thank you for being part of this fight,
Team Summer Lee
