John,

I’m Josh Riley, the Democrat representing New York’s 19th District in Congress.

Last year, our opponents spent millions of dollars to try to defeat me, but we still won. Now, these same folks are back at it.

Before I fill you in on a few of the folks we’re up against, will you split a donation between me and Democratic Values today to help us fight back and hold this seat?

🔴 In 2024, Elon Musk helped my opponent run attack ads against me. Now, he’s already given Republicans $10 million to target vulnerable seats like mine and run even more attacks in 2026.

🔴 In 2024, Elise Stefanik poured millions of dollars into my opponent’s campaign. Now, she’s already holding fundraisers in our district to help Republicans raise the money they’ll need to defeat me next November.

🔴 In 2024, Republican Super PACs spent millions in our district. Now, these same groups have reported record-breaking fundraising hauls for 2026.

While our opponents have MAGA extremists and dark money backing them, I’m counting on grassroots support from folks like you because I don’t take any corporate PAC money.

Will you split $5 or whatever you can between me and Democratic Values today to join our team ahead of this next fight?

With gratitude & high hopes,

Josh
