John,

Republican Fred Upton is in trouble and the National Republican
Congressional Committee knows it. After all, in 2018 Upton won reelection
with just 50.2% of the vote.

This year, progressive Jon Hoadley is going to finish the job and flip
this district from Red to Blue. That's why the NRCC is pulling out all the
stops and trying to motivate their racist homophobic base with lies and
misrepresentations of Jon and his record.

In recent ads and mailers sent to voters in district, the RNCC tries to
paint Hoadley as anti-woman, pro-pedophilia and a sexual predator. Using
out of context quotes from live blogging over 15 years ago, they've
purposefully contorted and cut up conversations to sell homophobic tropes
about Gay men and scare voters.

The problem is, that in this Republican leaning district, these homophobic
attacks might just work -- if we don't fight back.

[ [link removed] ]Jon is counting on DFA members to have his back and help fund an
incredible GOTV effort to highlight his record as a three-term State
Representative in the Michigan House and his progressive vision for
America. Contribute right now to defeat Republican Fred Upton and send
another true progressive fighter to Congress.

The truth about Jon, after three-terms in the Michigan House, is very
clear. At only 37 years old, he's distinguished himself as a principled,
progressive voice for equality — especially in the fight to end violence
against women — and as a strong supporter of workers’ rights to organize.

His campaign isn't just endorsed by DFA members, Jon earned support from
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist, soon-to-be Vice
President Kamala Harris, Senator Elizabeth Warren, and dozens of other
elected officials at all levels of office.

Jon has the support of the LGBTQ Victory Fund, dozens of women’s
organizations, environmental groups, gun control advocates, and unions
throughout the state including the UAW and the Michigan AFL-CIO.

You know what else is true? Jon is working to win.

That's why the RNCC is stopping at nothing to smear Jon and make up lies
about his record. It's also why Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee recently added this race to their Red to Blue target districts.

With 52 days left until the last day to vote, Jon needs all the support he
can get from progressive nationwide to win.

[ [link removed] ]Rush a contribution to Jon Hoadley and DFA immediately and fuel the
fight to defeat Republican Fred Upton and send a progressive champion to
Congress!

[ [link removed] ]Rush Support Now

Let's make sure Republicans learn that when they go low... we beat them.

Thank you for everything you're doing to fight back the lies and make sure
progressives win.

— Charles
