Yesterday, against an obscene amount of dark money, Summer Lee pulled off a stunning victory.
Alexandria endorsed Summer Lee because she understands the realities of working people and is dedicated to the fight for justice for ALL.
Last night’s victory demonstrates the strength of the growing, organized progressive and democratic socialist movement. Summer Lee was outspent 2:1 by dark money groups, but we know that people power is stronger than special interests. Big money groups may be evolving in their tactics, but so are we in fighting back and winning.
Next up is Jessica Cisneros running in TX-28 against Henry Cuellar, the last anti-choice “Democrat” in the House. Last cycle, Jessica came just shy of pulling out a win and replacing Cuellar. This year we have another chance to make that happen.
We wouldn’t be asking if it weren’t important. Jessica is up against over $2 million in outside spending. If you're able to, please split a $6 donation – or whatever you can – to help power Jessica Cisneros to victory and help us continue to build our progressive coalition in Congress.
We need a bigger squad in Congress who understand the realities of working people. Over the next several weeks, Alexandria will be announcing more progressive endorsements across the country, so we’ll need to be prepared to go up against more outside funding and dark money PACs looking to maintain the establishment status quo.
Outside money has never emmassed like this before and it’s all in response to people like Summer and Alexandria pushing progressive priorities and fighting for working class people. We saw it in Nida Allam’s race where she lost after being outspent 10:1 from an influx of billionaire and special interest money.
They may have the money, but we have the people. Let’s show them what grassroots people power can do by pulling off another victory: Jessica’s runoff is on May 24th and early voting has already begun. Chip in whatever you can now to power her campaign over the finish line and help our movement build the progressive infrastructure to keep growing our progressive coalition in Congress.
Thank you for everything you do for our movement.
— Team AOC
