John —
We know Senator Kyrsten Sinema is in the news today for switching to the Independent Party, and it's not the first time she's let down the organizers and activists that fought SO hard to elect her.
Voters, organizers, activists, and her constituents all deserve better, so today, I wanted to take a minute to remind you *exactly* where Cori stands:
→ Cori is 100% committed to the people — not corporate interests.
→ Unlike Sinema, Cori won't sell out to the highest bidder, especially not to Big Pharma or Wall Street.
→ Cori will never waver in our fight for Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, the People's Response Act, the Keeping Renters Safe Act, or the bold change everyday families need.
Kyrsten’s bait-and-switch isn’t a new strategy. Frankly, it makes sense — someone willing to stand up for the progressive values we believe in could beat her with a primary challenge within the Democratic Party in 2024. But that selfish desire to maintain power above doing right by your community doesn’t sit right with us.
A lot of politicians can say they're getting to work for their constituents, but Cori is one of the rare members who always puts their constituents first — no matter the political or personal cost.
Cori's able to keep her focus on her legislative priorities because of one simple decision she made before she even ran for office — not to accept a dime of corporate PAC money.
For Cori, this was an easy decision. But it's not how all of Congress (*cough* Kyrsten Sinema *cough*) operates. Most members fund their re-elections through special interest donations — from the pharmaceutical industry, military contractors, and even the gun lobby.
Because of this commitment, we can guarantee you that you won't ever hear about Cori abandoning her colleagues or constituents in pursuit of personal gain. But that also means our campaign relies entirely on grassroots donations of $5, $15, or whatever people can comfortably afford.
In Solidarity,
Adrastos Da Silva
Campaign Manager, Team Cori
