John,
Let’s talk about billionaire Jeffrey Yass.
Yass has a notorious history of funding Republican election-denying extremists, evading up to $1 billion in federal taxes, and crediting the pandemic with his record profits in recent years. He’s set up sham PACs just to buy candidates off.
This man isn’t just out of touch — he’s downright dangerous. And he gave the Moderate PAC $1,000,000. The same Moderate PAC that wants to stop progressive, working-class people from running for office and challenging the status quo.
This is the trouble with money in politics. Until we elect a progressive bloc large enough to pass major campaign finance reforms, it’s going to take all of us coming together to fight off the big money that they will always send after our candidates.
We have to make sure we can send even more Justice Democrats to Congress next year — and that means we can’t let the Moderate PAC and their mega-donors tank our movement.
In solidarity,
Team JD
