Back in December we were emailing you about our End of Quarter deadline and how important it was to hit our goal. Well, those reports have finally been made public and we’ve spent the last week poring over our opponents’, to see who’s been funding their campaigns.

Here’s the big news: one of our opponents (a Democrat, no less) accepted multiple contributions from the AI industry. They accepted one from an ICE attorney. They accepted tens of thousands of dollars in foreign lobby money.

I don’t know about you, but I want a representative that is not for sale. One that doesn't have to answer to the call of billionaires or special interests — regardless of their party. I want a representative who I know will answer to the people.

Emily doesn’t accept corporate PAC or foreign lobby money, and she doesn’t accept it for a reason. She won’t be beholden to these industries, because her job is to represent our interests.

Would you contribute to her grassroots campaign right now? We have to combat the big money entering the race and the only way to do that is with grassroots power. ([link removed])

These individuals and organizations are contributing thousands of dollars to ensure their interests will be represented in Congress, and we deserve better than a representative who will sell out their values to the highest bidder.

All the money flooding this race also means we need to work twice as hard to combat it. But Emily won’t back down from fighting for what matters to this district – even in the face of big money attacks.
Would you rush a grassroots donation right now to help us combat the big money in this race? ([link removed])
