The time to fight back is now

[Pamela Pugh for Congress]( [I have something to share with you, but can you urgently rush a donation to beat the clock to our end-of-quarter deadline?]( {NAME}, I have to be completely honest with you. I have not really said this out loud to anyone on our campaign team yet, but I am a little nervous for this end-of-quarter deadline given all that the opposition is throwing at us. I know that's not a typical thing for a fighter like me to admit, but these are not typical times and this is not a typical race! [Our end-of-quarter deadline is in just a couple of hours, and we still need 492 donors to rush a donation so that we can stand strong against our opponents, including formidable groups like AIPAC, known for opposing candidates who support ceasefires. {NAME}, can you help and donate right now:]( If you've stored your info with ActBlue Express, we'll process your contribution instantly: [DONATE $8]( [DONATE $20.24]( [DONATE $100]( [ANOTHER AMOUNT]( Help us surge past our fundraising goal by midnight tonight so that our entire campaign doesn’t get drowned out by louder voices with deeper pockets. Let’s not let AIPAC and our establishment-backed rivals gain the upper hand before we even get up on the air to fight back. Together, we can hit our fundraising goal and make this deadline. Team, I know that with your support, we won't let that happen. What is comforting to my pre-deadline anxiety is knowing that I have faith in our community of grassroots supporters like you, {NAME}. This movement is not only about securing a seat in Congress for working Michiganders but for ensuring clean drinking water in Flint, fighting for our children's right to quality education, defending our fundamental human rights to housing, healthcare, and work and education, and advocating for a ceasefire in Gaza. I refuse to shy away from these battles as a committed advocate for ALL THE PEOPLE of Michigan's 8th District because our grassroots movement transcends the financial advantages of our establishment-backed opponent [So, will you join me in showing the strength of our movement by contributing to our end-of-quarter fundraising goal before midnight, which will allow us to achieve our budget targets, continue our fight, and… make me a lot less nervous?]( [Rush a Donation]( Thank you for letting me be so open with you, -Dr. Pamela Pugh --------------------------------------------------------------- I’m Dr. Pamela Pugh, and I’m a Saginaw native running for Congress in Michigan's 8th District. I've spent my career fighting to improve the lives of Michigan residents through public health initiatives, and as the Chief Public Health Advisor for Flint I played a pivotal role in standing alongside Flint residents during the water crisis. As a public servant, I currently serve as the President of the Michigan State Board of Education, a statewide elected position. I believe in standing up for the people and fighting for our democracy, our children, and our future. I've lived in Michigan's 8th District for my entire life and it will be the honor of a lifetime to represent my community in the House of Representatives. I'm relying on grassroots contributions to fuel my campaign to victory — [so please chip in what you can right now!]( Our email list is an important tool for us to reach Democrats and activists in Michigan and around the country.
