John,
While the Democratic party is fighting to protect incumbents and their status quo agenda — Justice Democrats are fighting for working people. That means keeping Congress accountable by challenging incumbents who are no longer serving the people’s interests.
A primary can make a huge difference. Just look at how AOC ousted corporate puppet, Joe Crowley, how Jamaal Bowman defeated foreign policy hawk, Elliot Engel, how Marie Newman unseated anti-choice Dan Lipinski, and how Cori Bush won her primary against 20-year corporate-backed incumbent, William Lacy Clay.
For too long, members of Congress have collected wins for corporate and private interests at the expense of working people — but we aren’t afraid to primary Representatives who aren’t doing their job.
From gatekeeping voter data to spending millions of dollars on behalf of incumbents —the Democratic establishment will protect their own at any expense. That is why the Primary Power Fund needs your grassroots contribution today.
Think about all that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Marie Newman, Pramila Jayapal, Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush, and the rest of our coalition have accomplished. Now imagine what they could do if there were more members of Congress like them.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
