The same week Desiree Tims moved back home to Dayton, Ohio, the Ku Klux Klan marched through the city. Tornadoes ripped through the area, and a few months after that, a mass shooting took nine lives. These events aren’t isolated.
They’re happening across the country because Republicans in Congress aren’t working for us, they’re working for corporations and billionaire donors. They’re working to enable white supremacists and deny climate change. Desiree is running for Congress to fight back, and I’m happy to support her. This is a battleground district in a battleground state, and a donation from you right now will help us flip this seat.
Desiree grew up in Dayton, her grandfather was a sharecropper that came to Ohio to work in the steel mills. She was the first in her family to graduate from a four year college. After working in Washington for 10 years, including in the Obama White House, she saw the people doing the legislating weren’t working for families like hers.
Desiree’s story is one of her greatest strengths, because it feels so familiar to all of us. Her opponent is one of Trump’s favorite Congressmen, and he’s got Republicans like Jim Jordan and billionaire donors showering him with tons of cash. That’s why I’m asking for your help today.
