Received this e-mail today from Bernie Sanders delegate and recent Special Election congressional candidate, James Thompson (D. KS-04), in support of Archie Parnell’s (D. SC-05) campaign:
When I announced I was running for Congress in ruby red Kansas, no one thought my campaign would amount to much. But with support from progressives around the country we did what no one thought possible -- a 20-point swing for Democrats in the first federal election of the Trump Administration. It shocked the country, and energized grassroots progressives.
I know with that same momentum behind him, my friend Archie Parnell can hand the political establishment the message they need to hear: we will hold irresponsible leaders accountable, and progressives are leading the way.
I'm proud to stand with Archie's campaign for Congress. I hope you will too, with a donation of $100, $25, or even $10 right now.
You have a tremendous opportunity in the Fifth Congressional District of South Carolina. Using the momentum growing across the country, you have the power to flip this district. CLICK HERE to invest in Archie Parnell's success!
Progressives have the opportunity to send the message that we will not stand aside while the far right rips healthcare away from vulnerable South Carolinians. We won't cooperate when our education system is attacked by special interest billionaires. We won't back down when our immigrant brothers and sisters are demeaned and bullied.
It's time to step up for Archie. He's a progressive who will fight for working South Carolinians. CLICK HERE to donate to his campaign.
It's time to send one of South Carolina's own to represent working people again. Please join me in supporting Archie Parnell's victory!
Fighting for America,
James Thompson
Democratic Candidate for US Congress
Wichita, Kansas
