Friend — Did you catch Ilhan’s email earlier this week?

In case you missed it, we officially have an opponent in the race for MN-05.

This is an all hands on deck moment for our campaign, which is why we’re setting an emergency fundraising goal of $10,000 before the end of the week.

Take a moment to read Ilhan’s message below, then consider chipping in to power her campaign for reelection and our movement for dignity, affordability, and justice for all:

Friend, we just got our first opponent in the race for re-election.

A DNC member with powerful connections and the ability to fundraise against us announced their campaign last night.

If you stand with me, this movement, and the progressive vision we bring to Congress each and every day, please rush a contribution right now:

CHIP IN HERE

When I first heard the news, I quickly met with my team to discuss our strategy to counter this challenger and win this campaign.

I know that the best way to fight back is to start investing in our outreach right now — not waiting until it’s too late. That means paying for online ads, hiring canvassers and organizers, sending out mailers, growing our contact lists, and more.

But the problem is that the money for additional investments just isn’t our budget right now. So I made a difficult decision, and approved some new investments anyway, because I made a bet that this team would step up and help us afford the campaign we need to run.

Now I need your help to back that up..

If you’re ready to take any and all challengers, corporate PACs, and the entire establishment, chip in $10.

If you’re ready to fight for democracy, healthcare for all, climate action, and the safety and dignity of Palestinians, chip in $10.

If you’re ready to win, chip in $10.

Please, use this link or the buttons below to chip in $10 or whatever you can afford today. We have to start laying the groundwork for victory today, before it’s too late to go up against the attacks that will come our way.

In solidarity,
