John,
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but we’re already halfway through the month. It feels like we were just celebrating the holidays… and now here we are, working to hit our mid-month fundraising goal so we can stay strong all the way to Election Day.
Here’s the truth: before we know it, it’ll be Summer Lee’s Primary Election. And we’re not waiting until the last minute to get ready. We’re building the kind of campaign that can knock every door, make every phone call, and stand up to big money and big pressure — because that’s what it takes to win.
This week alone has been busy. Summer signed impeachment articles against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, standing up and saying that what’s happening with ICE is not okay and cannot be ignored.
This article lays it out plainly: Summer is built different. She’s not a career politician looking for the safest move or the quietest path.
She’s a fighter for the people.
A line-holder when it matters.
A truth-teller when it’s uncomfortable.
A movement-maker and a progress-shaker.
And honestly? Even if standing up for folks cost her politically, you could bet she would still do it. She’s not here to make backroom deals, enrich herself, or chase some fake celebrity version of politics. She’s here to change things — for real people, in real life.
But campaigns like this don’t run on corporate checks or billionaire donors. They run on regular people stepping up when it counts.
Your support helps pay for organizers, field programs, voter outreach — all the unglamorous but critical work that wins elections and builds power for our communities.
We are so grateful for you, and we don’t take your support for granted. Let’s make sure that when Election Day comes, we got this thing in the bag!
With gratitude and determination,
— Team Summer Lee
