John,

I know you’re used to us reaching out and asking if you’ll pitch in, but I’m not asking for money today. Instead, I wanted to take a moment to tell you more about what I’ve been doing in Congress and ask if you’ll consider endorsing my re-election campaign.

All year, I’ve been working to lower costs for Upstate New Yorkers. I sponsored a bill that will help families make home improvements and save up to $400 a year on their utility bills, and another that will provide support for farmers and lower grocery prices in the wake of the bird flu. I’m also leading the fight to crack down on corporations raking in record profits at our expense – from utility companies jacking up rates, to big ag monopolies raising prices at the grocery store.

I’m doing everything I can to hold our government accountable. While Donald Trump and Elon Musk made headlines for their overreach, I introduced a bill to give the Courts the tools they need to enforce their orders when Trump tries to ignore them, backed bills that called for full transparency into DOGE, and supported the ETHICS Act to ban congressional stock trading.

I stood up to the GOP while they knowingly voted for a bill that will kick 1.5 million New Yorkers off their healthcare, cut critical funding for rural hospitals, and take food off the tables of hardworking families. When we were voting on their One Big Beautiful Scam, not only did I call them out on the House floor, I introduced two amendments to protect rural hospitals from Medicaid cuts and lower prescription drug prices for seniors – but Republicans blocked them.

John, Upstate New Yorkers sent me to Congress to fight for them. That’s what I’ve been doing, and it’s what I’ll keep doing. If you’re with me, I hope you’ll take a moment to pledge your support by endorsing my re-election campaign today.

With gratitude & high hopes

Josh
