Subject: Our path to victory and what we need to stay competitive

John,

We wanted to take a moment to give you an important update on the state of the race and why your support is more crucial than ever.

NY-04 is one of the most competitive in the country. We flipped it blue in 2024 by a razor-thin margin. Now, Republicans are already targeting us with attack ads and throwing money into this race to take it back.

With Republicans controlling the House, Senate, and the White House, this race is about more than just one seat. It’s about retaking the House so Democrats have the power to block harmful policies, hold hearings, shine a light on corruption, and go on offense again.

Here’s the reality:

• The Cook Political Report rates this district as the only toss-up in New York
• Republicans are raising unprecedented sums, including Trump’s $1.5 billion war chest, to keep control
• For the first time in years, Democrats are being outraised
• Attack ads from Republican super PACs are already running in this district
• If we don’t meet our September FEC fundraising goal, we risk looking weak and giving a well-funded Republican challenger an advantage

Laura’s campaign needs funding to stay competitive. It’s that simple.

Every dollar you contribute helps:

• Counter the GOP attacks and get Laura’s record in front of voters
• Build the infrastructure we need to mobilize voters and stay ahead in this race
• Ensure we have the resources to get out the vote and defend this district

Can Laura count on you to contribute today and keep us on track to defend this seat and take back the House?

P.S. We know this is going to be a tight race, but with your support, we can stay competitive. This district is pivotal and we can’t afford to fall short of our September FEC goal. Please, give what you can today.
