John, most people in Congress didn’t grow up like me.

My name is Noah Widmann. I’m not a politician, but I’m proud to announce I’m running as a Democrat for Florida’s 7th Congressional District.

Look here: For as long as I’ve been alive (29 years!), being wealthy and well connected has been the only path to winning a Congressional seat and representing the people. 

I’ve spent my entire life watching Congress get older, richer, and further from the people they are actually elected to fight for.

I rarely see folks like me – a teen parent who worked as a fry cook for $8 an hour – in office. 

But I’ve been defying the odds my whole life and with your help, we can do it again.

That’s why I’m asking for your support today. Unlike most candidates for Congress, I don’t have millions of dollars to fund my campaign. There aren’t a lot of former fry cooks in Congress. I hate that to run a winning campaign, it takes millions of dollars. Truly, this system is messed up! But John – I refuse to accept that only the ultra-wealthy should run for office. So I’m humbly asking: Will you split a $15 donation between myself and Blue Amp Action to become a Founding Donor of my campaign? >>

I’m a heck of a lot different than most members of Congress.

I was raised by a single, disabled mother in central Florida. 

We lived in Section 8 housing and relied on food stamps to get by.

The system was meant to work against people like me. 

When I secured a path to college through a wrestling scholarship, I thought I had broken the cycle of poverty. 

But on what was meant to be my first day of class, I found out I was going to be a father.

So I made a new plan: Do whatever it takes to ensure my daughter can succeed in life. 

My daughter Elizabeth will be 10 years old next month.

And her father — who worked day and night to provide for her — is running for Congress.

When I decided to run for Congress to fight for working-class families like mine, I knew I wouldn’t have the same connections as the D.C. insiders. But, John: I can’t take on this fight alone. I’ll need the support of folks like you to prove I have what it takes to win this race, defeat MAGA extremist Cory Mills, and flip the House for Democrats. Can I count on you to become a Founding Donor of my campaign by splitting $15 between my campaign and Blue Amp Action before midnight? >>

John, when I was 18, I worked as a fry cook, bagged groceries at Publix, and did anything I could to pay the bills.

I worked night shifts as an EMT to put myself through community college, becoming the first in my family to attend university—then law school.

Now I fight to make sure people get the benefits they’ve earned and rely on, like Social Security.

So when I see our Congressman attack working families like mine, it’s not just about politics. 

It’s deeply personal.

John, I’m not running for Congress because I have deep pockets or connections that can get me elected – I’m running in spite of that. I’m running to break the cycle and ensure everyone has a seat at the table. I’ve seen how hard it is to change a system that wasn’t built for folks like me to win. But I’ve also seen what’s possible when people join together, organize, and build change. So please: Can I count on you to split a $15 donation between my campaign and Blue Amp Action, become a Founding Donor, and help me pull off a historic victory? >>

 

Thank you,

Noah

About Blue Amp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do!
