What a crazy last few weeks, and 2 weeks are left in our primary

[Pamela Pugh for Congress]( {NAME}, it’s been a wild last two weeks, and as of today, we have two weeks left until our primary election here in the open, toss-up seat in Michigan’s 8th District. I hope you’ve been able to come up for air during the last two weeks. The political news has jumped from shocking to depressing to inspiring to… we have a primary election in just 2 more weeks in our race, and the “most important election of our lifetimes” rapidly approaching on November 5th. One thing is clear to me at the moment: The pathway to winning the presidency in 2024 runs through Michigan, and right through our congressional district. In fact, Saginaw County (which makes up most of our district) has decisively voted for the winner (Obama, Trump, Biden) in the last three presidential elections. The path to the presidency runs through our district. If you want to help us defeat Trump here in Michigan’s 8th District, an open toss-up seat, and make sure Democrats can flip the House blue in November in case he wins, donate to our campaign right now – I am the only candidate running who will be able to persuade young voters and voter of color to turn out in our August 6th primary in just 2 more weeks and again in November to defeat President Trump. Rush a donation of $5 right now if you can help us make that happen → [( We also know that Kamala Harris’ campaign will need to communicate with the types of voters our campaign is speaking with every day: young voters, voters of color, Spanish-speaking voters, “suburban women” – you name it, Michigan’s 8th District has got it. To be frank, we haven’t seen my primary opponent’s campaigns out in the field at all, (as we expected) talking to marginalized communities, or at the doors. They’re thinking they can waltz their way to victory by spending as much money as they can on out-of-touch ads made by Washington D.C. consultants. We know that real people in Michigan’s 8th District are worried about what a Trump-Vance presidency would mean for their own freedoms, economic prospects, and quality of life, and we need your help to make sure I am the Democrat on the ballot in November who can help Kamala harris win this district and win Michigan, the right way. I really do believe our organizing here could be the difference between another Trump presidency or not. So, can you pitch in with only 2 weeks left until our primary election to help us continue to organize, fight, and win against my two establishment-backed, centrist opponents?
