Our 48-hour fundraising deadline is about to expire, and we’re counting on you to chip in so we have the resources to organize voters around our shared progressive values and fight back against any attacks from our challenger. Can you rush in any amount right now?

Subject: BREAKING: Our conservative primary opponent outraised us

We have concerning news, team: Ilhan’s conservative primary opponent just made his fundraising numbers public, and his campaign outraised us last quarter.

That means our opponent officially has the resources to launch bad-faith attack ads against Ilhan and our movement, and our campaign needs to run on all cylinders to fight back and spread our bold, progressive message.

So we’ve set a flash goal of raising 1,500 donations in the next 48 hours to make sure we have the resources to run ads of our own, get out the vote, and stop the status quo from unseating Ilhan.

Can you rush in a donation of $5, $10, or anything you can give to keep Ilhan in Congress where she belongs?

Here’s our assessment of the campaign right now: This is starting to look like a repeat of 2020, when our corporate-backed primary challenger and right-wing donors poured millions of dollars into our race to try to silence Ilhan – outspending our campaign by 400%.

The status quo is relentless in their efforts to unseat Ilhan because her work for a better future is a threat to their bottom line. While she fights every day to put people first, championing transformative policies like Medicare for All, universal school meals, and Homes for All, the status quo is fighting to put corporations and corruption first.

In fact, when Ilhan spoke out in support of a Minneapolis ballot amendment that would have established a public safety system centering compassion and true justice, Ilhan’s conservative primary opponent was one of its most vocal opponents.

Ilhan knows our job isn’t finished yet, and she will work every day to secure a brighter future for everyone, no matter their ZIP code. But we need to make sure she stays in Congress to disrupt the status quo and keep up our work for progress.

That’s why it’s so critical that we ramp up our fundraising and reach our flash goal in the next 48 hours.

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to chip in to our campaign, that moment is now. Please, rush in a contribution of any amount to help us defeat the status quo >>
