We’re off to the races, John.
Earlier today, Cori officially filed her candidacy to run for re-election and represent Missouri’s First District in Congress!
But Cori isn’t the only one filing her paperwork this week: Multiple candidates have already announced their campaigns to challenge Cori Bush.
Will you chip in $5 or anything you can to help us raise $10,000 today so we can send a loud and clear message that we have Cori’s back this election? It’s critical we raise a record amount of money today to demonstrate the strength of our anti-racist, progressive movement.
Chip in $5
Cori has been an unapologetic advocate for our progressive values and has made it clear she’s not backing down in the fight to pass Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, and anti-racist legislation. There’s no doubt that this stance will make Cori a top target of GOP dark money this year.
In 2020, Cori’s sisters in the Squad, Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib, all faced primary challengers backed by Republican donors, dark money, and corporate PAC dollars. Their opponents spent millions in an attempt to weaken our progressive coalition, and we know that they’re going to come out even harder in 2022 to fight for a Republican majority in Congress.
Unlike many other members of Congress, we don’t accept a single cent from corporate PACs. 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 corporate interests. That means we need to work extra hard to financially sustain this campaign and overcome the attacks we’ll face this election cycle.
That’s why we have no time to waste: We’re setting a $10,000 goal today to make sure we have the resources to protect Cori’s seat and make sure she can continue advocating for a people-first agenda in Congress.
We’re not accepting a single cent from special interests in this campaign — every bit is funded by folks like you, John. Even giving $5 makes a big difference to help us prepare for a heated primary election this August.
Together,
Team Cori
