Friends,

My job as a Congresswoman is to turn your cries for justice and bold change into legislation that transforms lives and livelihoods for the better.

My job is not to put the interests of corporations over those of working people and families. Far too many of my colleagues have lost sight of that in favor of their own personal gain.

But I’m a refugee and a first-generation college student who has been burdened with student loan debt, worked as a cashier, and advocated for a better country for all as an organizer. I understand the needs of the people, because I have experienced what it’s like to struggle to make student loan payments or go without running water.

I work for you, which is why I will always answer to you — never corporate PACs.

Unlike so many politicians in our broken campaign finance system, I can’t just call up a corporate donor when our campaign is falling behind on a fundraising goal. In fact, I won't — I've pledged from the beginning that I will never take a penny from corporate PACs.

But our campaign is being outraised by my conservative primary opponent, so it will take a groundswell of grassroots support to catch up.

I’m reaching out to you, personally, because I know I can count on you to chip in toward our team’s April fundraising goal before our deadline this week.

So please, give whatever you can to my re-election campaign so we can reach our goal, defeat my status quo opponent, and continue our work to put people first:

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

CHIP IN $25 NOW CHIP IN $50 NOW

CHIP IN $100 NOW ANOTHER AMOUNT

Together, we're going to finish the job we started — from guaranteeing housing for all to building a public safety system rooted in equity and compassion. Thank you for being a part of this critical work.

In solidarity,

Ilhan Omar
