From 56 to 73

 

Tomorrow I’ll be sworn in for my third term in Congress, and I’m proud to say I’ll be in the company of 72 other members of Congress who reject corporate PAC money. The number of members who reject corporate PAC money has increased since I was first sworn in four years ago, when 56 of us, many of us freshmen, took the pledge.

In 2020 I started an organization, Truth to Power, to elect candidates who would join me in standing up to special interests and rejecting corporate money. This year we elected nine more Truth to Power candidates who are joining me in Washington to fight for families.

While corporations profit off of record inflation, and big corporate mergers reduce choice and raise prices, it’s more important than ever that there are elected leaders who aren’t beholden to corporate lobbyists and their checks.

I’m proud that our campaign is powered by grassroots donations. The majority of our donations are of $25 or less, and every contribution makes a real difference. If you can, consider chipping in today.

Thanks for your support,

Katie

Joining me in the promise to reject corporate PAC money

 

This week, newly elected Members of Congress have been in Washington for orientation, learning the ins and outs of Congress and getting to know their new colleagues.

Thanks to your support, nine(!) Truth to Power candidates are joining me in Washington. These bold leaders all reject corporate PAC money and will help us stand up to special interests.

This group includes history-makers, like Maxwell Frost, the first Gen Z Member of Congress. Robert Garcia is the first openly gay immigrant to serve in Congress. And Delia Ramirez and Yadira Caraveo are the first Latinas elected to Congress from their respective states.

I founded Truth to Power to help elect candidates like these, and I couldn’t be more grateful for your support. To help power our movement, consider making a contribution that will be split between my campaign and Truth to Power.

Thanks for considering,

Katie Porter

To protect abortion access, support these candidates

 

Often when I send you an email about a certain bill we’ve passed in the House, the email has to end like this: This bill has passed here in the House, but it’s stalled in the Senate because Democrats don’t have enough votes. 

Whether it’s protecting access to abortion, legislation to stop Big Oil from price gouging, protecting the right to vote, or lowering the cost of child care—these bills won’t become law without more Democrats in the Senate. 

Following today’s Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, it’s more important than ever before that Democrats hold Congress. If Republicans regain power, they could institute a nationwide ban on abortion.

That’s why today we’re announcing our newest slate of Truth to Power candidates who will help us grow our Senate majority.

I’m proud to endorse Mandela Barnes in Wisconsin, John Fetterman in Pennsylvania, Charles Booker in Kentucky, and Mike Franken in Iowa. 

All four are running campaigns free of corporate PAC money, which means they rely on people stepping up and chipping in. If you can, make a donation that will be split between Truth to Power and our campaigns.

 

Mandela Barnes is the current Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin. Mandela has what it takes to win this tough race against Republican incumbent Ron Johnson. As a community organizer, state legislator, and now as the Lt. Governor, he’s proven he’ll stand up to special interests and fight for an economy that works for working people—not just big corporations.

John Fetterman is Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania and a former mayor who has proven he can deliver for working people. John is running against Republican Dr. Oz, and winning in Pennsylvania is key to Democrats’ control of the Senate.

Charles Booker is an author, former State Representative, and lifelong resident of Louisville, Kentucky. Growing up in one of the poorest zip codes in Kentucky, Charles experienced poverty and homelessness firsthand, and shares many of the same struggles that Kentuckians across the Commonwealth face everyday. 

Admiral Mike Franken is running for Senate in Iowa—the state I grew up in. He’s served our country in the Navy and at the Pentagon, and now he’s running a people-powered campaign to flip this seat blue.

All four of these candidates are joining me in the pledge to reject corporate PAC money. With Roe v. Wade now overturned, it’s more important than ever that we grow our majority in the Senate.

Thanks for considering supporting these four candidates. They’re all running in really tough races, and your contribution will make a real and immediate difference.

ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ: I said this from the start.

I said this from the start: when you speak truth to power, power fights back.

Did you know that a corporate dark money group is bankrolling one of our opponents? They’re misleadingly named U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and they’re focused on propping up conservative, right-wing candidates. They’re coming for me because I call out corrupt Wall Street bailout schemes.

So, if you can afford it, I’m asking you to help show that our fight for working families – and against corruption – is here to stay. Make a contribution to our re-election campaign right now.

Our primary on June 23rd is coming up fast. What we raise now will determine how hard we can organize to overcome entrenched interests – and whether our grassroots movement and our commitment to our values, integrity, and paradigm-shifting is strong enough to win.

If we’re going to continue building support for Medicare for All and if we’re going to fight back against corrupt schemes like Republicans’ $2 trillion corporate bailout, we need political courage more than ever.

Our fight is even more urgent now. So please: can I count on you to make a contribution to our re-election campaign? Any amount helps.  But if you can’t afford it today, please don’t worry.

Thank you. With your help, we will make the road right. We will make the crooked path straight. And we will respond to the crises we face not by going backward, but by going forward.

Pa'lante,

Alexandria
