A different kind of Democrat…
John,
These are not normal times — so we can’t afford to respond with “normal” politics.
In this moment, we need to go above and beyond for our communities. That means fighting back when others stay silent. It means standing tall while others sit on the sidelines. It means leading with courage — even when it costs you.
That’s exactly what Summer Lee is doing.
She’s not here to play nice with billionaires or corporate Super PACs. She’s here to take them on — directly, unapologetically, and with legislation that makes them sweat.
That’s why we’re asking: Can you chip in right now to help us raise $2,000 TODAY? We know billionaires rake in over $2,000 every second. But this is how grassroots movements win — by showing up, by chipping away, by never backing down and by STAYING ready.
As you know, Summer recently introduced the Abolish Super PACs Act — a bold piece of legislation to finally root out the toxic influence of unlimited money in politics. Because in a true democracy, Elon Musk’s billions should never drown out your voice or your vote.
Then, just yesterday — on Tax Day — she introduced the OLIGARCH Act, a groundbreaking bill that would finally tax ultra-rich billionaires like Musk and Jeffrey Yass based on their obscene wealth compared to the average American household.
These two bills are deeply connected. Why? Because everything we’re fighting for — healthcare, housing, higher wages, education, climate justice — is being blocked by the influence of money in politics.
And let’s be very clear:
Democrats cannot criticize the billionaire takeover of the Republican Party while cozying up to their own billionaire donors. We can’t serve two masters. We can’t be the party of the money and the party of the many.
That’s why Summer is choosing sides — and she’s choosing you. Even when it means taking the hits. Even when it means going up against the political establishment.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your representative is fighting back in this moment — just look at Summer Lee.
Summer chose the people over profit. She chose to fight billionaires instead of fundraising off of them. That’s rare — and it’s worth fighting for. Help us raise this $2,000 today to show that we’ve got her back just like she has ours. Whether you can give $5 or $500 – every single dollar makes a difference! Click here to join the fight!

We know we won’t out-raise them — but we will out-organize, outwork, and outlast them. That’s how we win. That’s how we change the game and unrig the system.
Always in the fight with you,
—Team Summer Lee
