Fun fact: Elissa Slotkin and Mallory McMorrow were collecting signatures together as first time candidates in 2017 trying to flip Rochester Hills based districts

Now there's a chance this could be a US senate delegation just 9 years later

At one of our brewery tour stops, a Mom and Dad brought their 8-year-old daughter out. She raised her hand high to ask a question, "How can kids make a difference in government?" I brought her up to the front to introduce herself.

You'll never guess what her name was.

cash of hand is what you should use

but that implies fundraising of money explicitly during those 3 months, which isn't true

those are funds raised in 2024 and Q1 that were transferred

the number fascinated more than amount

Mallory McMorrow and Abdul El-Sayed, both rejected corporate PAC money, raised more in Q2 than her, embarrassing way to sell herself out to corporations

Elissa Slotkin also did not take any corporate PAC money as she raised $50 million in her 2024 win

Haley Stevens brought in $350,000+ into her Senate Campaign from ~100 different corporations/ insurance PACs πŸ‘‰

Google, DTE, Cigna, Goldman Sachs, United Health Care, Verizon, Blue Cross Blue Shield, CVS, Doordash and on.. and on... this is who will get a seat at the table!

That's not aipac money means

Zohran has also pledged support for Israel existing that doesn't mean he's endorsed or got money

She doesn't take AIPAC money stop making shit up

She said policy papers saying what Zohran said Israel has a right to exist

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus has rushed in aggressively calling efforts to support Foxx, who is Filipina by ASPIRE (Pac supporting Asian candidates) as "disenfranchising Latino voters" and "treating them as expendable communities"

Grijalva has countered that argument by saying she's been progressive and endorsed by Sanders/AOC who were very close with the late congressman (progressive champion) and she wants to continue that legacy.

Foxx has designated this race as passing on the torch to the new generation. Mentions not having a legacy last name or a donor list she inherited from her name, rejecting corporate PAC money and has raised $1 million+ on small dollar donations ($20 avg).

Daniel Hernandez was heroically put in the spotlight as a young staffer in the Tuscon shooting in 2012. He's taken the moderate lane in this race and is endorsed by several labor unions and state legislators. He calls himself a pro-Israel progressive and is endorsed by DMFI.
