John,

Around half of the Pentagon’s total spending since 2001 has gone to defense contractors.

That comes out to $7 trillion in just under 2 decades.

Think about it. Corporate executives of weapons manufacturers have gotten rich off of wars abroad, then they funnel money to their favorite politicians in DC who vote to pass the Pentagon’s budget and keep their coffers full. It’s a corrupt cycle that incentivizes war and death all for the sake of profit.

My opponent, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi is part of it. During his four years in Congress, he’s already taken $47,500 from defense contractors like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and General Dynamics. And every year, he happily votes to approve the Pentagon’s bloated budget.

I’m sick and tired of greedy corporations and corrupt politicians getting rich, then telling us we can’t afford universal healthcare or to cancel student loan debt. Will you chip in any amount to help me replace Raja in Congress? [[link removed]]

Representatives in Congress only have one job: work to better the lives of the people they represent.

Instead, most use their time in office to make themselves rich and further their career, and we’re the ones who suffer. I’m sick of it.

Help me replace Raja so we can undo the corrupt cycle in Washington and transform our country to work for all of us. Chip in any amount today. [[link removed]]
