John,

In December, a story broke that the Philadelphia-based far-right billionaire, Jeff Yass, had set up a $20 million dollar bank account to aid a Republican candidate in the Pennsylvania gubernatorial race of his choosing.

For years we’d heard whispers that our opponent, Congressman Dwight Evans (D-PA), was tied to Yass, so we decided to look into it back in January. What we uncovered is deeply troubling.

Yass is the richest man in Pennsylvania and has used his fortune to back a plethora of right-wing causes. One of his favorite pet projects is the Club for Growth, a conservative organization instrumental in funding the campaigns of January 6th accomplices Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), and Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO).

Now that you know who Yass is, here’s what our team found:

Yass’s contributions to Evan’s PA House of Representatives Campaign

Why did Evans accept money from Yass? Why would Yass, a far-right activist, go out of his way to fund a prominent Philadelphia Democrat? The answer lies in the multi-decade right-wing operation to defund and dismantle America’s public school system, of which Yass is a major player.

In 1998, the Philadelphia school district, the NAACP, and countless other coalitions of Philadelphians sued then Republican Governor of Pennsylvania Tom Ridge.

So what did Evans, the chair of the PA House Appropriations Committee at the time, do when he heard about this civil rights lawsuit? Evans turned his back on PA families and sided with the PA GOP laying the foundation for Philadelphia’s charter school system, the brainchild of arch-conservatives obsessed with defunding public education.

Evans' strategy is simple- feint to the left while running for office and then dart to the right once elected. It’s because of this that donors like Yass, dead-set on destroying our public school system, are writing big checks to a Democrat like Evans.

Alexandra refuses to make deals with the devil to fund her campaign.

John, let’s show Dwight Evans and his right-wing patrons that we’re ready for a fight: Can we count on you to chip in $25 or anything you can to strengthen our insurgent grassroots movement to unseat this Republican in sheep's clothing?
