John,

I know you probably don’t want to see another political email asking for money, especially ahead of the holiday weekend but…

What if I told you Republicans have more than 5 times the money in the bank than Democrats?

What if I told you Trump is amassing an unprecedented war chest to keep Republicans in control of Congress?

What if I told you our August fundraising deadline is just days away and we’re falling dramatically short of our grassroots goal?

This is the only toss-up seat in New York and one of the most competitive in the country. If we lose it, we are all but guaranteed to lose our shot at taking back the House.

Every day we see the chaos Republicans are unleashing. Winning the House won’t fix everything. However, it will give us the power to block the next wave of cruelty, hold hearings, shine a light on corruption, and finally go on the offensive again.

That’s why I’m asking for your support. Without grassroots donors, this campaign doesn’t stand a chance against the record-breaking Republican fundraising numbers. If you have the capacity to contribute today, it would make a significant difference.

Thank you for standing with me and helping keep this seat blue.
