I'm so excited to join with the PCCC and other progressive leaders in support of Summer Lee for Congress. She's the frontrunner in a Democratic open-seat primary on May 17 in Pennsylvania.
We're doing a grassroots fundraising event for Summer in Washington DC this week, but she needs all of our help in the final push.
Thank you.

The Pittsburgh Tribune reports that Summer Lee is leading in the polls of this newly redrawn, open, blue congressional district – by double digits! However, 40% of voters are still learning about the candidates, so this final push matters.
The Nation reports that as a state legislator "Summer Lee is on the front lines of the fight to defend the right to vote -- and to give people something to vote for." She also fights for unions, workers, and climate justice.
Many of the issues Summer Lee fights for are personal. Her hometown is riddled with steel processing plants that cause massive pollution and some of the worst air quality in the country. With kids suffering from severe asthma and others diagnosed with cancer, Summer has organized her community against environmental injustices for years.
Raised by a single mom and personally saddled with crippling student loans, Summer is committed to canceling student debt.
After she crushed a conservative 20-year Dem incumbent to win her state house seat, she started a group to support progressive women, LGBTQ candidates, and candidates of color. ALL of the candidates won their primaries!
It isn’t enough to just elect Democrats. It matters which Democrats. Especially in Democratic-leaning districts!
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
