John,
Just six weeks ago, our movement achieved something amazing: we unseated an entrenched, establishment Democrat.
But that wasn't the end of our fight. We still need to make sure Cori wins in November — to do that, we need to defeat two white supremacist candidates who are already going to extreme lengths to stop a Black Lives Matter candidate from making it to Congress.
Our Republican opponent, Anthony Rogers, brags about being endorsed by Roger Stone — the same Roger Stone who served as an advisor to Donald Trump's campaign, and who was convicted of seven counts of obstruction of justice, witness tampering, and making false statements.
And, taking a page straight out of Donald Trump's and Roger Stone's underhanded campaign playbook, Rogers has launched all sorts of false smears against Cori — attacking her activism, attacking her service as a nurse, even attacking her family.
As we get closer to the election, we expect to have to fend off a lot more underhanded attacks like these. You can help us prepare right now by making a gift to our grassroots-powered campaign today.

And Rogers isn't the only opponent we're up against. To make it to Congress, Cori will also have to beat Libertarian candidate Alex Furman, who is a leader in the St. Louis Proud Boys, a radical white supremacist organization.
Look, John — we don't know how this election is going to turn out. With the pandemic still raging, with an unprecedented number of people voting by mail, and with Donald Trump brazenly manipulating the Postal Service, we have to be ready for anything.
We have to make sure that we're building a movement strong enough to overcome all of these smears and obstacles and send Cori Bush to Congress — not Trump allies, white supremacists, or Proud Boys. You can do your part by making a gift to our people-powered grassroots movement today.
In solidarity,
Team Cori Bush
