The billionaires and super PACs spending millions to defeat and unseat progressives in primaries across the country are just getting started, team.
A conservative super PAC just poured $1.5 million into TV ads in Rashida Tlaib’s local TV market, and a billionaire-funded super PAC is pledging to spend at least $1 million in an attempt to unseat Rashida and undermine our progressive movement.
My race in Minnesota’s Fifth Congressional District could be next — I’m up against a conservative opponent in my August primary, and right-wing groups poured upwards of $20 million into my race to try to defeat me back in 2020.
We need to be ready to fight back against the inevitable flood of attack ads so we can power our organizing efforts, win our primaries, and continue our work for progress in Congress.
With so much at stake — from canceling student debt to the future of abortion rights — can you split a donation of any amount between Rashida and my campaign before our quarterly fundraising deadline expires today?
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will be split between Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar immediately:
Early voting is already underway in both Rashida and my districts, and it couldn’t be more important to reach people on the ground and with online ads to build support for our people-first movement.
We also need to prepare to fight back against any last-minute attacks that come our way — especially after super PAC spending contributed to narrowing Summer Lee’s lead in Pennsylvania and Nida Allam’s loss in North Carolina.
Our movement is for the people and by the people — which means we rely on grassroots contributions to win and reject all corporate PAC donations.
So, before midnight tonight, please split a contribution of any amount between Rashida and me so we can run our campaigns on all cylinders, win re-election, and keep fighting for our shared progressive priorities in Congress:
