There are only a few hours left until polls close, John. We wanted to make sure you saw Summer’s message from earlier today.
Our corporate-backed opponent and super PACs have poured nearly $10 million into this race to spread lies about Summer. That kind of money means blatant misinformation can spread faster than we are able to fight back and puts us at major risk. We can’t afford to stop reaching out to potential and undecided voters until the very last minute.
All eyes are on our campaign to see if we have what it takes to defeat corporate PACs and win today. We believe in the power of our movement and know that, with all of us working together, we can elect the first Black Congresswoman from Pennsylvania and push for common-sense policies like Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, and the PRO Act.
Our opponents think they can buy this race, but they continue to underestimate the power of the people.
It all comes down to this.
– Team Summer

Today, our community makes a choice, John.
Do we continue to follow the dangerous path of inaction the status quo has set us on, or do we forge a bold, new path to the future we collectively envision for ourselves and the generations ahead?
Today is Election Day and there is no time to waste. Will you donate $5 or more to our campaign so we can continue to reach undecided voters before polls close?
The people of Western Pennsylvania deserve a representative with a proven track record of fighting unapologetically for our shared values. I hold that record, John.
As a labor organizer, I fought for an increased minimum wage, voter mobilization efforts, safe schools for all students, and more. When I ran for the Pennsylvania State House against a 20-year incumbent, our campaign DOUBLED voter turnout and won with over 67% of the vote.
But, unfortunately, the reality is that races can be decided by who has the most money and resources. Republican-backed super PACs have poured millions of dollars into this race to try and defeat our movement, a movement by and for the people. That is why we need to spend up to the last moment reaching out to undecided voters, John.
I was born and raised in the Mon Valley, and saw what happened to communities like mine when corporations chose their own wealth over our health and put profits over people. I saw the deterioration of my community, which was supposed to be a shining example of the American Dream, but became the result of a promise unkept.
I’m ready to keep that promise.
The polls are open, John. Let's do this.
In power,
Summer
