All across the country, special interest groups have been working to oust members of the Squad – including Summer Lee (PA), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jamaal Bowman. Bhavini Patel is a candidate who has been bought by AIPAC to run against Summer Lee.

Patel recently urged Republicans in PA to register as Democrats and vote in the Democratic primary to bump her opponent – incumbent Summer Lee – off the ballot. These dirty tactics are part of a vast array of underhanded and often borderline illegal techniques that groups such as AIPAC use to silence their political opponents.

No Dem Left Behind believes in diversity in our nation's politics. When candidates from many different backgrounds, often women of colour, are targeted by dark money groups, we feel compelled to take a stand.

It does not matter that AIPAC has found a candidate who ticks the diversity box on paper, because Patel is working to oust an opponent who truly believes in progressive principles. She has cited no reason for opposing Lee aside from Lee's politics being "divisive".

While Summer Lee is working to make a difference, she is facing attacks on all sides. Help us raise awareness about the corruption brewing deep in our nation's politics.
