Even if she’s not going to win, she’s using her campaign to help real people right now. Props for that.
The criticism that she only recently moved to the district is in bad faith. How many of the city’s mayors had residency loopholes? We should be encouraging and welcoming visionary newcomers like Kat who are seeking to make an impact, especially given the state’s population drain.
Kat Abu is amazing and just the kind of grass roots candidate we need everywhere.

I always imagined that if I won an office and lobbyists were throwing donations at me, I would spend all of it plus $1 on charities they despised

If by grassroots you mean suspiciously funded by 80% out of district and living off her rich republican parents money to do it
You seem to be literally the only one who is saying this …
… If you had some type of proof we’d be willing to see it
Here’s proof. Basically entirely outside funding.
It’s interesting how no one else is saying easily findable information.
Minor Internet Influencer uses minor internet influence to raise funds for campaign.
No mention of her parents was made in the article linked.
, yes, I didn’t make the claim that her parents donated to the campaign
Why are you upvoted
because they’re not pissing all over someone doing some fucking good for a change.
Christ, you’re acting like joe rogan or pewdiepie or mrbeast or hawk tua girl are running.
Kat Abughazaleh is her name.
Also worth noting she’s running for congress in Illinios
Specifically, IL-9, against the incumbent democrat, whose name is “Kat Abughazaleh’s opponent.”
You can tell she’s to the left of the incumbent because her name doesn’t appear in the headline.
I saw her political videos on TikTok. She would give explanations about the content that was aired on Fox N*** over the last little bit of time, coverage that you might have missed, and how things are being portrayed to its viewers. Her segments were very well done and very useful.
I think she’s amazing and wish her nothing but luck.
I know that if she is spending money this way, she’s doing it on the up-and-up with only the right intentions.
But I can’t get over thinking that political campaigns doing charity work starts to resemble “a chicken in every pot” vote-buying. I would love it if someone who knows campaign finance law better than me could comment on the legality of it.
could this be seen as bribery of the public?
Absolutely. She’s in the pocket of Big Homeless.
It’s misappropriation of campaign funds, are you kidding me?
I thought she’s asking for food/goods donations rather than money
He doesn’t care. He’s here to punch left.
By the same people who didn’t think Elon was buying votes, yeah.
Knowing enough about the US this is probably highly illegal
Not only that she’s likely a Republican funded plant. She’s trying to run in my district, but she doesn’t even live here yet, and she’s planning to run for our congressperson. It’s horrifying tbh and I’m going to help campaign against her
What kind of anxiety do you have and how do I not get it?
Have you done any research into her? She’s an influencer type who has been posting progressive content for a while.
Anxiety? Yeah sure, someone who has never even lived in our district is trying to run being bad is anxiety.
She’s an influencer type
Yes, she’s influencer. That’s bad.faking your views is easy
bad reasoning for both counts
It is not remotely reasonable to run for districts you’ve never lived in. There’s no good politicians who do it.
By that logic bet you think CO’s Lauren Boebert’s ® tenure is completely legit, then.
Typical.
That’s a complete fallacy. Me believing one thing does not mean I believe the inverted is true
That’s bad.faking your views is easy
For example, you’re pretending that she’s a republican because you don’t like people to your left running. Or feeding the poor.
She’s not to my left… Lmfao. I’m about equal to her stated viewpoints. Albeit more radical on environmental.
. Or feeding the poor.
Oh wow, I don’t like buying votes. Jeez, who would’ve thought?
She’s not to my left…
k.
centrists love pretending that everyone to their left is actually a republican.
Never heard of her before but she sounds cool as hell. Wishing her all the success!!
She’s a plant coming in from out of district with suspicious funding. She doesn’t deserve success
I wonder how much democrats spend on oppo research and messaging against progressives.
What elections are in March?
Primary elections for this congressional District seat and others will be held in March 2026.
My God we need to shorten campaign timelines.
This is HORRIBLE! We NEED to Make Sure this Person FEEDING THE POOR LOSES!
-Chuck Schumer and the DNC!
