John,
Summer Lee could make history next week, becoming the first Black woman to represent Pennsylvania in Congress. But now, the pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC is doing everything it can to prevent Summer from joining the Squad.
They just launched a new attack on Summer, spending over $1 MILLION in just 48 hours… supporting her Republican opponent. Before the primary election, AIPAC ran ads falsely suggesting Summer isn’t a “real Democrat.”
AIPAC has targeted Justice Democrats through this whole cycle because they know our candidates will stand up to their corporate lobby. AIPAC’s main Super PAC “United for Democracy” is now campaigning for a Republican who supports insurrectionists and wants a federal abortion ban, just to keep Summer out.
According to The Intercept, “The GOP and AIPAC are going for the jugular.”
This is not a drill, John. The situation only grows more urgent every day — we don’t yet know just how much AIPAC is willing to spend on Summer’s race.
We need Summer in Congress. The people of Pennsylvania need Summer in Congress. We cannot let hostile Super PACs take down a progressive woman of color simply because they have more money.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
