Received this e-mail today from Rep. Conor Lamb (D. PA-18) (feels great to type this) in support of Dr. Hiral Tipirneni’s (D. AZ-08) campaign in support of the special election on Tuesday to fill disgraced Rep. Trent Franks’ (R. AZ-08) vacant seat:
When we first started our campaign, plenty of people underestimated us. They said a Democrat could never win in this district. They said we could never withstand the multi-million dollar attacks from Paul Ryan and his special interest allies.
But you proved them wrong. You proved that a grassroots movement focused on working families can beat whatever Paul Ryan’s super PAC puts on TV.
Now, we have a chance to help another great Democratic candidate do it again.
Dr. Hiral Tipirneni is the Democrat running in Tuesday's special election in Arizona -- a district that the President won by 21 points. The pundits wrote her off, and she’s heading into Tuesday's election with GOP groups outspending her campaign by large amounts.
Despite all of that, the latest polls show her in a dead heat. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
Let's help Dr. Hiral Tipirneni win Tuesday's election in Arizona the way we won in Pennsylvania -- with regular people pitching in to give her the resources she needs to get out the vote. Chip in $5 or more to her campaign right now.
Dr. Tipirneni has spent her career doing hard, important, and often thankless work in service to her community -- as an emergency room physician, an advocate for medical research, and a public health official. She’s a proven leader who’s focused on the issues that matter most to working families in her district -- like protecting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid and making health care more affordable.
Dr. Tipirneni’s opponent, like mine, is running on Paul Ryan’s agenda -- repealing the Affordable Care Act, cutting taxes for the wealthy and big corporations, and paying for it with cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
You helped us achieve something incredible for working people here in southwestern Pennsylvania, just like you did in Virginia, Alabama and Wisconsin. With your support, Arizona can be next.
Let’s do everything we can to help send Dr. Tipirneni to Congress to help solve problems for working families. Chip in $3 or more today.
Thanks,
Conor Lamb
