KATIE PORTER'S EMAIL THIS MORNING:
There’s no way around it: To achieve big change, I need more allies in Congress.
I need a crew of BOLD and progressive leaders who will fight and win. The good news is that today many bold progressives are in prime position to flip Republican seats like I did in 2018. But they need our help.
I’m thrilled to support the PCCC’s Red to Bold slate - 7 bold progressives who can flip Republican congressional districts in areas where Joe Biden needs to get out every vote, like Michigan, Florida, and Texas. Even Nebraska, where President Obama won an Electoral College vote.
(You can also sign up to meet the crew on Zoom this Tuesday at 12:30pm Eastern, 9:30am Pacific. Click here to meet Kara, Candace, Dana, Mike, Pam, Joe, and Julie. And help us spread the word on Twitter and on Facebook.)
Republicans don’t want more Katie Porter allies in Congress. That’s why their big-dollar Super PACs are spending millions trying to defeat my allies who are in neck-and-neck races in key swing districts.
These candidates are inspiring voters on issues like Medicare for All, bold climate change solutions, corporate accountability, pro-worker policies, and helping working families and single moms like me. By energizing voters around popular progressive ideas, we will also increase turnout for Joe Biden.
This country, and our work in Congress, will look very different if these Red to BOLD champions win in November. And I’m asking for your help to make it happen -- please donate right now to help them get out the early vote.
(You can also sign up to meet the crew tomorrow on Zoom. And help us spread the word on Twitter and on Facebook.)
Read more about them below. Thanks for being a bold progressive.
