[ [link removed] ]Summer Lee for Congress



Hi John, thank you
for joining this movement.

I’m Summer Lee, a Pennsylvania state legislator born and raised in the Mon
Valley, here in the heart of Pennsylvania’s 12th District.

This past October, I announced my run for Congress to represent Western
Pennsylvania, and since then we’ve been running full-steam ahead. [ [link removed] ]If
you’re short on time, will you consider pitching in $5 to
help us keep up the momentum?

Let’s talk about why I’m running.

I was raised by a single mother who worked multiple jobs to keep our
family afloat. I know what it’s like for a young family to struggle to get
by in a tough economy.

Growing up in North Braddock, the air was thick with pollution from the
Mon Valley steel mills. My neighbors and I have seen firsthand how
corporations will choose their own wealth over our health, and put profits
over people — forcing communities like mine to rely on jobs that make us
sick, while making us believe we had no other choice.

When I went to college — like many kids from my neighborhood — I didn’t
have extra money to afford my tuition. Instead, I took on student debt
that I still carry to this day. It’s affected every decision I’ve made
since.

After law school, I came home and led the successful campaign to unseat
local school board members who failed to address repeated incidents of
police and faculty violence against students at my old high school. I
realized my community was being left behind by the politicians we elected.
So I decided to stand up for my community and run for State
Representative, winning with nearly 70% of the vote against a 20-year
incumbent.

My lived experience growing up here is exactly why I’m running for
Congress now. Politicians always talk about how they’re for families like
mine. But they don’t act with the urgency that our crises demand — because
change doesn’t have to be today when you don’t live in the struggles of
today.

We need elected officials who don’t just talk the talk. We need ones
who’ll fight the fight — for environmental justice, union jobs, and racial
equity.

We’ve built a powerful grassroots movement that reaches every corner of
our district and beyond, and I know we can finally win on key priorities
like a Green New Deal, a living wage, Medicare for All, and justice
reform, but we can’t do it without the support of people like
you, John.

I believe leaders should remain accountable to the people, that’s why our
campaign doesn’t take a dime from corporate PACs. [ [link removed] ]Will you make a gift
today to help power this campaign? Every dollar helps us reach out to
every single voter in our district.
