I wanted to share a bit of my personal story with you:

I grew up in Buffalo as one of six kids.

Just before I was born, my parents started married life living in a trailer park in Lackawanna, not far from the steel plant where my dad worked.

My dad worked long shifts at that steel mill. I watched my mother — who raised six kids — stretch every dollar by buying used clothes and serving fried spam sandwiches for dinner.

My parents instilled the values of hard work and grit as they worked tirelessly to provide for us.

My parents’ sense of service is what inspired me to run for office. For far too long, I’ve watched families just like mine struggle to make ends meet while Donald Trump and his Republican loyalists prosper off the backs of families getting squeezed — and I’ve had enough. 

Unlike these D.C. Republicans, I’m fighting to make the lives of all New Yorkers easier — teachers, students, farmers, small business owners, and more. But I can’t do it alone. So: Can I count on you to chip in $15 in the next 10 hours before midnight? >>

D.C. Republicans only care about their special interest donors — not us.

Meanwhile, as Governor:

→ I took Trump to court over his illegal tariffs — and won twice.

→ I delivered inflation refund checks to put money straight back into New Yorkers’ pockets.

→ I tripled the Child Tax Credit to help families juggling childcare costs.

But MAGA Republicans want to buy their way into power here in our state and unravel all the work we’ve done — and I won’t stand for it.

So I’m personally asking: Will you pitch in $15 before midnight to help me compete with the millions D.C. Republicans will spend on this race, fight off their extremism, and bring home a massive victory for New Yorkers? >>

Thank you,

Kathy
