This is scary. Republican megadonors are yet again flooding Democratic primaries with dark money and misinformation.
In Maryland’s 4th district, bold progressive Donna Edwards has faced more than $5.5 million worth of attack ads paid for by AIPAC, a dark money group funded by pro-Trump billionaires. In Michigan’s 11th district, AIPAC has spent nearly $1 million against incumbent Andy Levin, a fiercely pro-union member of Congress with deep roots in the labor movement.
AIPAC has a track record of endorsing insurrectionist Republicans, like Jim Jordan and Scott Perry, and spending big in Democratic primaries against any progressive who poses a threat. Meanwhile, establishment Democrats have been notably silent on the issue, so long as dark money gives them a leg up against progressives they can't defeat on ideas alone.
Earlier this year, we watched AIPAC tear down Jessica Cisneros and throw a lifeline to conservative anti-abortion Democrat Henry Cuellar.
We can’t let them get away with it again. The stakes have never been higher, and we need standout progressives like Donna Edwards and Andy Levin fighting for us in the halls of Congress. Chip in to their campaigns here.
