An Open Letter

To: Sen. Murray, Rep. DelBene, Sen. Cantwell

From: A constituent in Kirkland, WA

March 2

The numbers don't lie. According to TrackAIPAC.com, every member of Washington's congressional delegation — with one exception — has accepted money from AIPAC or Israeli-linked donors: Patty Murray — $2,242,581 Maria Cantwell — $2,165,780 Kim Schrier — $1,402,935 Adam Smith — $1,335,151 Marie Gluesenkamp Perez — $1,250,848 Marilyn Strickland — $761,436 Suzan DelBene — $686,855 Dan Newhouse — $380,825 Rick Larsen — $344,485 Emily Randall — $99,841 Michael Baumgartner — $91,926 Pramila Jayapal — $0.00 That money is not donated out of goodwill. It is an investment — and recent events have made painfully clear what that investment buys. When our elected representatives consistently prioritize a foreign government's interests over the wellbeing of their own constituents, we have to ask: who are you actually working for? Representative Jayapal's $0.00 speaks for itself. It is possible to serve your constituents without taking this money. The rest of you have chosen differently. My message is simple: I will not vote for any Washington representative who continues accepting AIPAC or Israeli-linked money. I will encourage my family to do the same. And I will make sure as many of your constituents as possible see these numbers. Your votes are supposed to represent us — not the people who funded your campaign.
