John,
We always say: come ready, stay ready. And moments like this are exactly why:
A brand new opponent has officially jumped into the race against Summer Lee.
While Summer is out here fighting for you—protecting federal workers, trying to safeguard critical NIH funding, defending Medicaid and Social Security, standing up for clean air and water, preserving democracy, and refusing to let unelected billionaires tear it all down—her new opponent is busy fighting to unseat her.
What does he stand for you may ask? From what we can tell, just one thing: defending Israel and chasing AIPAC's cash. No mention of how he would stand up to Donald Trump. Silence when Jeff Yass spends millions trying to buy elections in Pennsylvania while at the same time trying to dismantle our public education system. Not a word about Elon Musk treating our government as his own personal playground.
We find that pretty telling.
It's interesting, isn’t it? Summer spends her days advocating tirelessly for working families, championing policies that uplift communities, fund public education, and protect our planet for future generations. Meanwhile, opponents come forward prioritizing singular interests and special-interest money, hoping we won't notice.
This isn't just about this one election though. It's about defending the progress we've fought so hard to achieve. It’s about whether we'll allow special interests to drown out our voices or whether we will rally together to protect the gains Summer has worked day and night to secure for our communities. It’s about whether we keep allowing the highest bidder to buy our elections right out from under us.
Make no mistake: Our opponent’s strategy relies heavily on outside money and tired politics. But here's the thing—they don’t know how determined we are. They underestimate our collective power, our grassroots strength, and our commitment to building a democracy that truly represents ALL of us.
Summer isn't backing down, and neither should you. Our primary might seem far away, but the fight starts TODAY.
Thanks for always staying ready.
Team Summer
