John, there’s one thing about politics that really bothers me.
It’s the fact that in most cases, the candidate who raises the most money usually wins.
Alongside that, campaigns have become incredibly expensive to run. We need money to get our message across in-person, online, and on TV.
Those two reasons are why many candidates, including my opponents, have taken money from corporate PACs and AIPAC. It’s the “easy” way to bankroll your campaign quickly.
But it’s not “easy” in my eyes. It’s selling off your voting power (assuming you win) to the highest bidder.
I refuse to be a part of that broken system. That’s why I have never and will never take money from corporate PACs or AIPAC.
I won’t pretend that choice is convenient. It makes funding this campaign a lot harder. The price of authenticity isn’t cheap, John.
That’s why, even though I don’t like doing it, I have to ask for your support.
Donations of $25, $10, or even $5 from regular folks like you allow our campaign to schedule more events, pay our staff, and get ads up on the air.
I know not everyone is in a position to give right now, and that’s okay. But if you’re able to, could you chip in a few bucks to fuel this movement? Any amount helps.
It’s no exaggeration to say all of this wouldn’t be possible without people like you pitching in. So truly, thank you for your support.
Your friend in the fight,
Abdul
