Hi Friend,

My name is Summer Lee. I’m an organizer, activist, and Pennsylvania state legislator — and in May I became the Democratic nominee to represent Pennsylvania’s 12th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. I am also on track to become the first Black woman elected to represent Pennsylvania in Congress.

Bend the Arc's PAC endorsed my campaign, and it made a huge difference. Our primary was hard-fought, and we won by less than a point. Without the help of Bend the Arc and the coalition of organizations and people who came together alongside me, I might not have won.

It takes teamwork to win victories like mine and make change in Congress. Join me in supporting my fellow progressive champions running in competitive races critical to holding the House this November:

My campaign is about a different type of government than some of us have ever seen — a government that actually works for all of its people, a government where we can see ourselves reflected in the people who represent us.

I can’t do this work on my own.

Bend the Arc PAC has also endorsed my fellow progressives Val Hoyle (OR-04), Jamie McLeod-Skinner (OR-05), and Chris Deluzio (my neighbor over in PA-17). Val, Jamie, and Chris are just the kind of partners I’m going to need to succeed in delivering for our communities when I get to Congress. Contribute any amount today to help all of us win and advance a progressive agenda in Congress together.

Bend the Arc supporters joined me to knock doors in PA-12 last month, and the advice I gave the canvassers applies to all our work: Don’t take fear — take joy, take hope, take action. That’s what brings us together, it’s what brings us out to vote, and it’s what brings us back to the work, over and over.

Bend the Arc's PAC made an enormous difference to my campaign, and I want Val, Jamie, and Chris to have the same support. Invest in a progressive, Democratic majority by contributing to these critical House races today.

In solidarity,

Summer Lee

Pennsylvania State Representative and
Democratic nominee for PA-12
