Dave is one of the best, but I would challenge his hypothesis here.

Ceasefire has always been broadly popular in PA-12. AIPAC still hates Summer Lee. The politics are largely the same. If AIPAC thought they could win, they’d be spending millions right now.

The story here is AIPAC couldn’t find a good opponent. That’s bc of all the great work Summer, her team and the progressive movement in PGH have been doing for years. I wish this piece highlighted that more, because it’s truly impressive work that should be replicated elsewhere.

Want to run against Summer?

You have to cross not only Summer and her team, but the Mayor, the County Exec, and a movement that has done nothing but win for the last 5 years. Good luck.

Summer and her team deserve a lot more credit than this piece gives for the work they’ve done since she’s been elected as well. Extremely impressive for a first term Congresswoman. It’s not a sexy media narrative but doing the real work makes a huge difference.
