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.

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.

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!

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
