I mean, Ollum in 2022 got zero dollars in outside spending from independent groups.
This time she's got 1.5 million, and it's sort of cobbled together with a bunch of different organizations.
Working Families Party, Justice Democrats, this American Priorities Group, Leaders We Deserve.
How much are you dropping on this race, do you think?
um so i'm on the hard side but last i checked in there was about 250 000. okay right so you know uh there's parity here there's some competitiveness here that we did not see in the last two cycles they're really it was just sort of you know lambs to the slaughter if you're talking about these these organizations and there was an attempt to do political education around this money is coming from aipac and this is what it means or this money is coming from crypto
But now it's there's still that.
But there's also and we we've got your back with some some actual firepower here.
So that's why I think this race is so important.
And if Alam still prevails, despite this last minute rush, it really does change the understanding and the conception of, you know, what these races are going to look like going forward.
massively i mean it's i i think that the entire the sense that these incumbents have such a sense of entitlement i think it's actually a huge asset for the progressive movement ironically of these challengers because they are so self-absorbed and obsessed with themselves that they tell themselves i'm so great at being a member of congress i can't be defeated that's why that's what then results in them getting cocky and not fundraising that's results that's what results in them going out there and being like oh it's fine like these challengers i don't really need to worry about them and
And then all of a sudden, people like Valerie Foushee have an oh shit moment two weeks before the election and are texting their members of Congress.
It's a Joe Crowley kind of situation.
Exactly.
And what we're seeing too is...
because they're so focused on themselves.
We've seen people like Steve Cohen compare Justin Pearson's challenge of him to Pearl Harbor, for example, right?
Then we go out there and we see somebody like Stephen Lynch go out there at a Doge protest, talking about all the Doge cuts against VA, theoretically a good thing, right?
When somebody huckles him and says that you need to do more to fight back against Donald Trump, he says, I'm the member of Congress, not you, me.
If you want to make that decision, you run for Congress.
Leaders We Deserve is happy to answer that call and light a fire under the asses of the Democratic establishment to force our party to be better.
