Hey, John — it's Morgan, I’m the Political Director for Team Cori.
Our team recently had a meeting to discuss the challenges ahead of us now that Cori is officially running for re-election, and I want to frankly share with you our campaign’s expectations for the future.
I hope when you’re done reading this update you’ll chip in $21.42 (our average donation) or anything you can to help us reach our big $25,000 goal by November 30th. This is our first fundraising deadline since we announced Cori’s re-election campaign and it’s critical we send an undeniable message about the strength of our progressive, anti-racist movement.
John, I want to be honest with you. We have our work cut out for us.
There are a number of challenges we face from now until Election Day that we need to prepare for:
→ From the moment Cori stepped foot in Congress, the far-right has made attacking Cori a core plank in their agenda. White supremacists have made countless violent threats on Cori’s life. The GOP will do everything in its power to keep Cori from being re-elected because they're threatened by the progressive, people-first movement she’s leading.
→ And it’s not just the GOP getting involved. Their friends on Wall Street are prepared to spend big money to attack Cori. There’s no doubt they’re going to spend millions to smear us as “too radical” and stop us from bringing our people-first agenda to Congress.
→ We don’t accept a single cent from corporate PACs and special interest groups. That puts us at a disadvantage in fundraising, but we know this is the right way to power our movement if we want Cori to fight for the people’s priorities, not her biggest donors. That means we need to work extra hard to financially sustain this campaign and overcome the attacks we’ll face this election cycle.
And that’s why this end-of-month fundraising goal is especially critical. We need to be ready to organize and grow our progressive movement this election so we can keep Cori in Congress.
Thank you,
Morgan
Political Director for Team Cori
