concerning

When you push power, power pushes back.   We have concerning news, team: Just hours after Ilhan won her primary, her conservative opponent’s campaign confirmed that he hasn’t ruled out a rematch in 2024. We already know he’ll have the full backing of right-wing groups and billiona…

FWD: We won.

In case you missed Ilhan’s message…   We’re reaching out to make sure you saw Ilhan’s message from earlier today — we won our primary last night! Republicans and conservative Democrats worked in lockstep to unseat Ilhan, spending millions of dollars to try to silence our …

We won

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.   It’s official, team: We won our primary! And it’s all thanks to you. Since I was first elected, the status quo has tried to silence our movement with the help of Republican super PACs and billionaires. But we’ve come together once again to…

Before the polls close tonight

It all comes down to tonight.   Team — In the final days of our primary, right-wing groups have rushed in to support my conservative opponent in a last-minute attempt to silence our movement. A super PAC funded by wealthy, corporate donors even put six figures behind a TV ad buy t…

We’re counting on a surge of donations

Today is the day, and we need your support.   We’ll make this quick, team: Ilhan’s primary is today, and we need to reach as many voters as possible before the polls close tonight. Early voter turnout has fallen since 2020, so we’re working hard to out-organize Ilhan’s conservativ…

Help us catch up?   Team, Ilhan’s primary is only two days away — and we’re falling short of our Primary Victory Fund goal to bring in 3,500 donations. Missing this goal is not an option. Ilhan’s conservative primary opponent just got a last-minute boost from a right-wing super PA…
