Hi team,

Once again, Donald Trump has turned to attacking Ilhan in an attempt to rile up his right-wing base and distract us from his corruption. This time, he shared a video with false claims about our campaign from a far-right propaganda organization with a history of doctored content and criminal activity. This organization is essentially working as an extension of the Trump campaign — it’s a sign of desperation that their only strategy is to spread conspiracy theories about our hard-fought primary win in an attempt to delegitimize our victory, defeat us in the general, and take the attention away from Trump’s tax scandal.

Trump and the GOP’s repeated attacks are why we raised our end-of-quarter goal to $1.3 million — Trump’s smears have shown no sign of stopping, and we’re also up against his hand-picked candidate, who’s been running hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of ads in the Fifth District and is ready to rubber-stamp Trump’s hateful agenda in Congress.

Will you chip in your first $5 donation right now to help make sure we meet this critical $1.3 million end-of-quarter goal? We’re $68,839 short, so we need as many grassroots supporters to step up as possible to close this gap.

It’s telling that Trump and the far-right’s attacks against Ilhan and our movement are almost always rooted in xenophobia, racism, or conspiracy theories. He not only wants to distract people from his corruption and failures but from how our policies, from Medicare for All to total cancellation of student debt, would help build an America that lifts up all people — not just the wealthy like himself and his GOP cronies. He and his allies will do whatever it takes to stop our movement and win Minnesota, so we need to ramp up our defense.

We’re counting on your support to fight back, bring in new voters, and defeat Trump in Minnesota — but we have just two days left to raise the resources necessary to make that happen. Chip in $5 toward our new $1.3 million end-of-quarter goal to help us make up this $68,839 shortfall. It’s a big gap, but it’s nothing we can’t overcome together.

Thanks for all you do,

Team Ilhan
