Discharge petition

I've been trying to get my representative to respond to my request that she sign the discharge petition for Ukraine funding. Summer Lee will not even give me an explanation. Is anyonevelse having trouble getting their democratic representative to respond to them?

from a fellow DUer. First rep's office that has been unresponsive like this. I guess that means we know the answer. Sigh

vote for her because she is being supported by a republican pac. I'm trying to avoid another Simena. I may pull an "uncommitted " on Lee in the and hope she gets a message, similar to uncommitted movements against President Biden. I do think Lee will win handily though.
You can also Google their WPXI debate from earlier this month.

I voted for her in the past and donated money. Look I can see her not signing if she can give a coherent explanation to me but she refuses to explain herself

I think you'll find Summer Lee more responsive after the primary.
