John,

Meet Jeffrey Yass, billionaire owner of a powerful Wall Street firm and the richest person in Pennsylvania.

In the 2020 election, Yass spent more than $31 million bankrolling extreme Republican Super PACs like the conservative, anti-tax Club for Growth and the Protect America PAC, both of which backed Republican lawmakers who sought to overturn the results of the presidential election.[1] And Yass spent at least another $18 million on elections so far this election cycle.[2]

Jeffrey Yass is on a personal mission to keep his taxes low while simultaneously underfunding public education.[3] He’s bankrolling candidates and politicians who are willing to divert funding away from public schools at a time when Pennsylvania already ranks among the lowest in public school funding at 44th in the nation.[4]

Let’s bring Jeffrey Yass’s political spending out of the shadows and make sure Pennsylvanians, and the American people, know how this billionaire mega donor is attempting to buy our democracy.

Check out our latest video spotlighting Jeffrey Yass, then pitch in to bring this video to millions of people and hold billionaires accountable for buying our elections and our democracy.

WATCH & DONATE

Instead of spending his fortune bankrolling conservative candidates and anti-public education campaigns, it’s time that Yass paid his fair share in taxes.

Thank you for fighting to protect our democracy and ensure billionaires like Jeffrey Yass pay their fair share in taxes.
