1 Week to go!

[Pamela Pugh for Congress]( Hi {NAME}, A whole lot is happening at Pamela Pugh Campaign HQ this now: - As of today, we are at the 1-week countdown to our Democratic Primary election. - Lots of people are out vacationing. We know many of you plan on spending time in the sun with your family, not reading our emails. - Our campaign is still fundraising to cover last-minute costs like feeding volunteers, GOTV literature, and keeping the office lights on. - So, we set a goal to raise at least $5,000 before midnight tonight to ensure that your voice is heard in next week's Democratic primary elections. [Will you chip in $10 or whatever you can to help make sure our team stays on track to reach our goal and get volunteers to the polls to spread the message of the only pro-people, pro-movement, pro-peace candidate who is an expert in public health? It is essential that we don’t fall short on our fundraising goals in this last week of the election →]( If you've stored your info with ActBlue Express, we'll process your contribution instantly: [DONATE $10]( [DONATE $20.24]( [DONATE $100]( [ANOTHER AMOUNT]( As our momentum grows, we are keeping our team on the phones and doors. Our fundraising momentum must be kept up as well to defeat our establishment-backed opponents who have been nothing but disrespectful to me and tried to erase my decades of work fighting and speaking out for my community. Even worse, they’ve tried to act like this competitive primary doesn’t exist, preventing voters from having a voice. However, the stronger our fundraising numbers are, the stronger the message we send to major super PACs like AIPAC and our big-money opponents. I know Michigan voters do not want the status quo; I have seen and heard this firsthand as I canvassed with my team and met with voters on the street. Folks voting in the primary election have told me that Michiganders want bold, progressive change at the polls. My opponents say they have plans to fix Michigan’s 8th District, but I am the only one who has actually done it – serving as the Chief Public Health Advisor in response to the Flint Water Crisis and as someone who has championed equitable and adequate funding for our public school system as President of the Michigan State Board of Education. My opponents say they want peace, but I am still the only candidate who has made a call for a ceasefire in Gaza to protect our Palestinian brothers and sisters. [I am leading a bold movement for change in Michigan, and it's crucial that we keep the momentum of our movement going if we want to create dynamic change in Congress. Even giving $5 will make a massive difference in this election next Tuesday.]( We got this, 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.
