John,

January has come to a close, and with it, the reporting period for Q4 of 2021. And today, I have good news and bad news.

The good news is that since launching our historic campaign, we’ve raised OVER A QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS with help from grassroots supporters like you. THOUSANDS of people have supported our campaign, and our average contribution size for the cycle is under $45.

Without a single dollar from corporate PACs, we’ve built a movement that defeated New Jersey’s corrupt political machine in redistricting and brought in small dollar donations from people across the country who’ve been left behind by a corrupt system. Click here to chip in $27 and support our progressive movement.

But, the bad news is that Donald Payne Jr. is catching on to our movement’s strength, and his corporate donors have started flooding this race to silence our voices and stop our progress.

With the help of dozens of high-dollar donations from corrupt, anti-worker, anti-consumer bad actors like Amazon, Wells Fargo, Prudential, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and PSE&G (not to mention law enforcement), Rep. Donald Payne Jr. out-raised us for the first time since we launched our campaign.

It's clear that after doing very little in Congress for a decade, Donald Payne Jr. is waking up now that we're challenging his record and his corruption.

But I’m not going to let him and his corporate sponsors stop me from fighting for what’s right — from being an unapologetic progressive voice for our communities.

And I don't know about you, John, but I want a representative who will hold bad actors accountable — not take their money. If you agree, click here to chip in now and help us fight back.

Thank you for being on my team.
