John, breaking news:
A challenger just announced that he's vying for Jamaal's seat in Congress in 2022 — and has now officially filed candidate registration forms with the Federal Election Commission.
John, Jamaal may represent a Democratic district, but he isn't necessarily "safe" from losing his seat. And now — with the first challenger in the race — we simply can't afford to continue acting like re-election is a given.
We need to be ready and able to respond to anything, whether that's dark money donors funding our opponent, attacks from the establishment, or even more challengers entering the race.
In order to prepare for the fights ahead — and to show Jamaal's challenger that we're not going anywhere — we've set a goal to raise $20,000 over the next 48 hours. Will you rush $3 to our campaign right now and be one of the first to respond to this latest news?

Unlike many other progressive members of Congress, Jamaal is a first-term incumbent. His status as a freshman member of Congress leaves him more vulnerable to challengers — especially centrist challengers from the establishment who want to see our progressive momentum quelled.
And John, this may be Jamaal's first challenger in this race, but it likely won't be the last. No matter how you look at it, the fight to keep Jamaal in Congress is ramping up.
Please rush anything you can to our campaign and help us reach our goal to raise $20,000 in the next 48 hours. Your contribution will ensure that we have the resources to respond to this breaking news, and will show the strength of our progressive movement. Chip in now:
