Folks, today I’ll explain why your support in our people-powered campaign is so important. But first, will you consider chipping in just $1 (yes, really — just $1) to help me move New York forward? »

I’m working alongside Governor Hochul to build a state that will always serve as a beacon of hope in times of trouble.

That’s why we have fought to protect abortion medication for New Yorkers and remain a safe harbor for those in need of care.

That’s why we are stepping up to support communities dealing with the horrific consequences of hate crimes.

That’s why we are fighting for small businesses, environmental justice, affordable healthcare and more!

Look, your grassroots support is what makes all this possible. »

My parents worked for General Electric and raised me and my younger brother in Schenectady. They showed me through their actions the value of earning your living. That's why I NEVER take asking you for your hard earned dollars for granted.

Every grassroots donation makes a difference, be it $1 or $25. Making a contribution to our campaign makes a statement — it says that you're in the fight with me to improve New York for working families.

So now, I’m humbly asking you to chip in just $1 (or a donation of any amount) to make a statement and help keep up the fight for a better New York. Can I count on you, friends?

Thank you,

Antonio
