Friends, we wanted to make sure you saw our message yesterday — a conservative Democrat just jumped into our primary to try to unseat Ilhan and roll back our progress — and if 2020 was any indication, this race could become expensive fast. Last cycle, our opponent and ultraconservative donors poured millions of dollars into Minnesota’s 5th District, and our campaign was outspent by 400%. We need to be prepared to respond to the inevitable attacks on our progressive movement, and we’re still 407 donations short of our 1,000-contribution goal.
Thank you for helping Ilhan stay in Congress to disrupt the status quo and deliver bold, progressive change. Any amount you can give will make a powerful impact. — Team Ilhan ---------- Forwarded message ---------
Team, A conservative Democrat just announced he’s running against Ilhan — kicking off what’s bound to be an expensive primary battle. Back in 2020, our primary challenger and ultraconservative groups spent millions of dollars to try to defeat Ilhan — all because her work toward a brighter future threatened the status quo they fought so hard to defend. Now, the status quo is back for round two. Our new opponent has proven himself as someone who would rather maintain the status quo than fight for bold, progressive change. He was one of the most vocal opponents of a ballot amendment in Minneapolis that would have established a public safety system rooted in compassion, humanity and love, and delivering true justice. We can’t let him win and put a stop to all our work for progress. We need to be prepared for anything our challenger throws at us in the coming months, so we’re setting a goal of bringing in 1,000 contributions by Friday. That’s why we’re asking you, personally: If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: No matter how much our opponent and outside groups spend to try to silence Ilhan and our movement, we’ve shown that organized people beat organized money before. And we can do it again. Thank you, — Team Ilhan
