John,
Let me be real with you for a moment.
When you take on the most powerful interests in this country — the billionaires, the corporate lobbyists, the political machines — they don’t just shrug it off. They come after you. Hard.
And Summer Lee knows that better than anyone.
Just this week, The New York Times laid it out plainly: the richest forces in politics — A.I., crypto, pro-Israel super PACs, and Trump’s network — are stockpiling massive war chests to shape the 2026 elections.
In her last races, millions upon millions of dollars were dumped in to try to take her out. Shadowy super PACs. Out-of-state donors. Corporate interests terrified of a leader who won’t be bought. And this time? It will be no different — especially now that Summer is the one forcing the Epstein subpoena and calling out corruption that others are too scared to touch.
Here’s the truth most politicians won’t say out loud: You don’t challenge power without expecting punches.
Summer isn’t just standing up — she’s standing in the way. She’s one of the only members of Congress willing to say what so many are afraid to: ABOLISH ICE.
That scares the hell out of the powerful. Why? Because Summer doesn’t answer to them. She never has. She never will. Period.
She’s not here to play it safe.
She’s not here to quietly warm a seat.
She’s here to make real change — even when it costs her politically.
And that’s exactly why they’re already gearing up to come after her again.
We’ve seen this playbook before. Massive outside spending. Smear campaigns. Corporate money flooding the zone to drown out a fearless voice. But we’re not waiting for it to happen, we’re staying ready so we don’t have to get ready!
Summer will always do what’s right, no matter the consequences. She’s proven that. But she can’t take on these forces alone.
This is one of those moments where people like us decide whether courage gets crushed — or backed up.
Let’s show them we’ve got her back.
With gratitude and resolve,
— Team Summer Lee
