Saikat Chakrabarti for Congress
@saikatc
I'm claiming to fight for higher taxes on the rich, including myself, and to create universal programs that help the working class. I believe the problem is corporations and billionaires who buy politicians in Congress and use it to make sure politicians never do anything that goes against them. And yes, I'm saying I'm different from them because I have different politics. I've spent 10 years fighting for those politics, primarying corporate Democrats to change the party, and I plan to do the same when in Congress this time around.
I'm going up against millions from the AI lobbies, crypto billionaires, tech VCs and others. I could combat that by doing a ton of call time with donors and owing a bunch of people a bunch of favors. Or I could put in my own resources so I'll actually be free to fight those forces, so I've chosen to do that.
