John, did you see the news?
We just went from 4 endorsed primary candidates to 5. Summer Lee is running for Congress in PA-18 and has our Day 1 endorsement.
Summer joins Odessa Kelly, Jessica Cisneros, Kina Collins, and Rana Abdelhamid on our 2022 slate of primary candidates. Summer is ready to fight for Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, an end to student debt, overdue solutions to fix the unjust criminal legal system, and much more.
She’s been representing the people of Southwestern Pennsylvania in the state legislature, after defeating a political dynasty in 2018. We know something about overcoming the odds to shake things up in our government. It’s one of the reasons Summer is Justice Democrats-endorsed on Day 1 of her campaign.
Born and raised in North Braddock, PA, Summer saw how the deck was stacked against her community — from the ever-present racism to some of the worst air quality in the country. Her advocacy to end fracking, fix the unjust criminal legal system, fight police violence, and end America’s reliance on fossil fuels is deeply personal.
She’s already a tireless advocate for the people of Southwestern Pennsylvania. Now she’s ready to bring our collective fight to Congress. To win this race, she’ll need a ton of grassroots support. That means strong fundraising right from the start, John.
Thank you for whatever support you can give,
Alexandra Rojas
Executive Director
Justice Democrats
