I just stepped off the debate stage

{NAME}! Just stepped off the debate stage for the very first time in this campaign, and I had to reach out to you immediately! The energy tonight at the Flint Library was electric, the nerves were high, and let me tell you — it was an exhilarating debate. My opponents may have brought their A-game, but what they lacked was the same fiery passion for helping Michigan’s working families and the urgent call for a ceasefire in Gaza that drives me every day on the campaign trail. Tonight's debate highlighted the stark contrast between my platform and theirs. While they focused on abstract issues without clear solutions and Washington D.C. consultant-approved talking points, I stood firm on my proven track record of spearheading legislation and offering concrete solutions to the challenges facing Michigan’s working families. I boldly called for a closing of the wage gap, delivering top-notch education for our children, ensuring our families have the healthcare they deserve, and a ceasefire in Gaza. And I will do it again in every debate from here on out because I will always stand up for the people of Michigan’s 8th District and what we need, not what Democratic Party officials in D.C. think we want to hear. I'm a fighter for our community, and I hope I made you proud tonight, {NAME}. My team is fired up and ready to ramp up our efforts. With only 4 weeks left until the primary, it's time to shift our campaign into high gear. If you're with me, please consider chipping in to help us close the gap on our final primary fundraising goal. Every dollar counts, and your $4 contribution would make a world of difference. I can't make the fancy buttons for you to donate on my phone, but here is a direct link if you can chip in: [ Thank you for your unwavering support, Dr. Pamela Pugh Sent from my iPhone Pugh for Michigan 4580 State Street Saginaw, MI 48603 United States [unsubscribe]( Paid for by Pugh for Michigan | Eric Welsby, Treasurer
