Here's the ugly truth about campaign fundraising:
Members of Congress are often told that they should spend up to five hours each day on "call time" — time solely dedicated to calling up mega-donors and PACs to get big checks and ensure reelection. That's more than half of a regular work day.
But as the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and a leader who is championing a wealth tax, Medicare for All, and a $15 minimum wage, Pramila is keeping her priorities straight: Legislating and fighting for working Americans.
Pramila relies on grassroots donations from supporters like you chipping in $5, $10, or $25 at a time because she does NOT accept corporate PAC contributions. Not a dime. Not even a penny. And every time this campaign gets a donation from someone like you pitching in to an email like this one, we're proving that there's a better way to do politics — a way that puts people first.
