First, the good news: Second quarter fundraising numbers for Justice Democrats Odessa Kelly, Rana Abdelhamid, and Kina Collins were the best fundraising totals we’ve seen at the beginning of our campaigns.
The bad news: The corporate incumbents in Odessa, Rana, and Kina’s races have way more campaign money. Just look at these numbers:
If we are outspent 2-to-1 in these races, our chances of winning decrease dramatically. It’s just a fact that more than 80% of House races are won by the candidate who spends more money.
Money has always been one of the biggest things holding Justice Democrats back from doing more. And it’s the one thing that our Democratic establishment opponents have a seemingly endless supply of — from Wall Street, Big Pharma, and fossil fuel companies. Will you help us close the gap by making a $3 contribution today?
This is only part of the story, John. Not only will these corporate candidates spend their millions to defeat Odessa, Rana, and Kina. They will have establishment PACs like the Democratic Majority for Israel, Team Blue PAC, and others spending huge sums to smear Justice Democrats.
Our candidates rely on us to provide some of the critical campaign infrastructure needed to win against establishment candidates — as a truly grassroots organization, our success largely depends on contributions from folks like you, giving what they can, when they can.
Thank you for your support,
Justice Democrats
