John,

I have some news that should make every congressional incumbent very, very
nervous.

Every single Leaders We Deserve-endorsed candidate outraised their
incumbent challengers in the fourth quarter of 2025. WITHOUT taking a dime
of corporate PAC money.

Our candidates are showing the strength of younger leaders, people-powered
politics, and fighting against the status quo.

The incumbents we’re challenging shouldn’t just be nervous. They should be
terrified.

Here's what is happening:

Justin J. Pearson (TN-09) raised $732,151
Rep. Steve Cohen raised $84,226

Nida Allam (NC-04) raised $334,740
Rep. Valerie Foushee raised $131,866

Donavan McKinney (MI-13) raised $217,044
Rep. Shri Thanedar raised $25,312

Patrick Roath (MA-08) raised $170,070
Rep. Stephen Lynch raised $104,595

These numbers aren’t flukes. They’re what happens when you put up
candidates that actually inspire people. While the amounts raised this
means little to people outside DC it’s damn near everything to people
inside DC. It is very rare for incumbent challengers to be doing this much
better than their opponents who have decades of connections and donors.

While we know these numbers are certainly not everything our candidates
are taking nothing for granted. They’re hard at work knowing money alone
isn’t enough to win. That’s why they are focused on organizing college
students in their districts, knocking doors, doing down halls and more.

We're challenging these incumbents because they've gotten too comfortable.
Meanwhile, our candidates are showing up, organizing, and refusing to
compromise their values.

We’re going to keep primarying candidates, keep holding complacent leaders
accountable, and keep building a Democratic Party that actually deserves
the power that voters give it.

Let’s keep this energy going.
