John — the heart of democracy is the people it’s made up of.
Summer and our team work hard every day to make policy decisions that result in positive change. Too often, politicians become disconnected from the people they purport to serve and represent, but when we actually make the connection of how policy (or lack of) affects real people, then we can change minds and hearts.
That's why your story matters, John — it’s the greatest tool we have to drive change and progress.
Earlier this month, we asked you to share your story and tell us why you joined this progressive movement. We personally want to thank the dozens of supporters who sent in their experiences and why they believe in Summer to our team.
Here are just a few quotes from what was sent to us:
“Summer has this passion that reaches me and makes me believe I can do whatever I work hard for. I see beauty in her heart and hear power in her words. Summer Lee is forceful and passionate wrapped into talent. That gift is what drives her to success. No one can stop her game, once the clock starts. That's one of the many things I love seeing when Summer speaks at a rally. Fire and solidarity.”
“I especially appreciate the fact that [Summer] emphasizes that all issues are interrelated and call for an integrated response. I also heard her speak once (at the Philly fundraiser last year) and was very impressed by the power of her messaging.”
“I am lifted up by Congresswoman Lee's clarity of vision, and her progressive ideas. Her advocacy for 'the good and law abiding disenfranchised', many of which are in poverty. [...] She has also called out the significant 'white collar crimewave' where many corporations gain with huge profits at our country's expense. She has the work ethic and 'chutzpah' of Western PA. She is doing us proud, spot on!”
Summer is incredibly humbled by your belief in her, and she will continue to fight for this people-powered movement with all she has. If you’re able, will you chip in what you can today to help us continue to strengthen our campaign?
— Team Summer
