John,
On Saturday, NJ.com published a story about our fight to defeat Rep. Donald Payne Jr. and elect a real progressive to fight for us in Congress.
Here are a few highlights we thought you should see:
“House Majority Whip James Clyburn came to Newark on Thursday to boost a congressman who usually doesn’t need help at primary time. But this year, Rep. Donald Payne Jr. sought the help of Clyburn and other prominent Democrats to fend off an unusually strong challenge for re-election for a seat he’s held for a decade.”

“Matthew Hale, a political science professor at Seton Hall University, said [...] ‘Oakley represents dynamic and perhaps generational change.”
Rep. Donald Payne Jr. is scared, John. He can see how powerful our progressive movement is, so he’s calling in reinforcements, leaning on corporate donors, and doing everything he can to silence us.
But we won’t let him get away with it. The primary election is THIS TUESDAY, and with one last push from our grassroots supporters, we can win a true victory for our communities and for everyone who’s been left behind by Rep. Payne Jr. and his establishment allies.
