John,

Pro-Israel America — a PAC closely affiliated with AIPAC — called our race a “key race of focus for the 2022 election cycle”.

Do you know what that means? A right-leaning lobbying group that spends millions of dollars every year keeping members of Congress in their pocket sees us as a threat to their “endless” power. [link removed] [[link removed]]

AIPAC is bipartisan by definition, but right-wing in their actions. Every year, they host GOP leaders like Mike Pence, Donald Trump, and Paul Ryan as featured speakers. They’re well known for leveraging financial pressure on members of Congress so they back the state of Israel in key votes, particularly around funding for the Iron Dome — Israel’s military defense system.

Their actions and statements consistently express bigotry and opposition to basic Palestinian rights. They also lean on Islamophobia, lobbing dangerous attacks on representatives in Congress who dare to challenge their influence. In the past, AIPAC has launched ads calling Rep. Ilhan Omar more sinister than ISIS for speaking up for peace and human rights for Palestinians.

Even J Street, another Israel lobby group, said that “AIPAC seems to be declaring war on progressive Democrats” and it “doesn’t speak for American Jews”.

And outside right-wing forces closely affiliated with AIPAC are already lining up to protect their interests in Congress by backing my opponent. Chip in $25 or more and help us prepare in advance for these special interests trying to tilt the scales in our race. [[link removed]]

In Congress, I will always champion human rights and peace. I will never give in to the pressure of lobbyists and PACs who want to divide us. Every day, I will work to fight against Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, and bigotry in all forms.

Join us by chipping in any amount today. [[link removed]]
