Hey there, we're reaching out this morning to ask you to chip in $5 to stand with Ilhan Omar and our re-election campaign for Congress today. ✋Here's FIVE reasons why: In 2022, Ilhan went up against MILLIONS of dollars in outside spending — from right-wing super PACs, special interest groups…

127 donations short

Friends - Earlier today, we weren't sure whether we'd meet our fundraising goals before our mid-month drive ends at midnight. But then Ilhan reached out this morning about the fact that this is a grassroots-funded campaign that relies on lots of small-dollar donations. The response so far…

Will you join the 184,474 people who have contributed to this campaign?

Friends - If there's one thing that sets me apart from most of my colleagues in the House, it's that I don't rely on corporate PACs and powerful special interest groups to fund this campaign. Instead, I rely on people like you. Since I first announced I was running for Congress back in 20…

A $3 donation from you

June 14, 2018. That was the day that Ilhan first announced she was running for Congress in Minnesota's 5th district. Since being elected, she has introduced legislation to cancel student debt, achieve housing for all, and take on the fossil fuel industry. She has fought relentlessly for po…

I am asking you directly

Friends - I am reaching out to respectfully ask if you can contribute $3 to my campaign today. Here's why: Last election cycle, we faced a challenger who came within 2 points of winning the primary in Minnesota's 5th congressional district. And right now, I am counting on this grassroots …

Can Ilhan count on your support today?

Friends - If you know Ilhan, you probably already know that the only way we fund our campaign for Congress is by lots and lots of people chipping in small amounts when they can. No corporate PACs. No billionaires waiting in the wings. That's not how Ilhan does things — never has, never will.…
