Access to clean air and water is a right

  Team — Pat knows that freedom includes every American’s right to breathe clean air and drink clean water, which is why he stands firmly against any efforts to deregulate contaminants in the Hudson River and other water sources or dump toxic waste into this vital waterway. In just…

We can’t leave these freedoms in the hands of far-right judges

  Hi team — Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court extended the stay on the abortion pill case out of Texas. What that means for right now is that people will continue to have access to the FDA-approved medication mifepristone. But I’m not just thinking about this immediate, temporary wi…

Bring it on

  Why New York Is the Center of the 2024 Fight for House Control — Time Magazine Team — Last year, Pat was the only Democrat in New York to win a toss-up congressional race. And now? GOP leadership is looking at his seat as a top pick-up opportunity as they desperately try to hold …

George Santos is running for reelection

  Team — George Santos is a liar, a fraud, and an insult to our democracy. And yesterday, he announced he is running for re-election. It’s ridiculous that George Santos continues to serve in Congress, receiving a paycheck and accessing our nation’s top-secret information. He doesn’…

Since we emailed on Monday...

  Team — Since we sent this email on Monday, a federal appeals court rolled back FDA approval on abortion medication, and Florida passed one of the most restrictive abortion bans nationwide. We can’t wait — we need to protect reproductive freedoms NOW. Sign on in support …

Watch this

  It’s clear: The far-right is hell-bent on taking away reproductive freedoms. The American people want to protect these rights — just take a look at election results in the Kansas referendum last year, the judicial race in Wisconsin last week, and Pat’s special election victory. W…

Choice is still on the ballot

The GOP will stop at nothing to strip women of their reproductive freedoms.   Last year, we said choice is on the ballot — but truthfully, it’s on the ballot every year. The GOP will stop at nothing to control women’s bodies. From bounties on the heads of Texas women to threats of …

My bill to protect access to abortion medication

  On Friday, a Texas judge overturned the 23-year Food and Drug Administration approval of Mifepristone, commonly known as the abortion pill. I probably don’t have to tell anyone reading this email how monumental a blow this decision could ultimately be to the reproductive freedom o…

Protecting Reproductive Freedom Act

  Team — When our freedoms are under attack, Pat is going to take action. Last year, after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Pat made protecting reproductive freedom a center point of his campaign. When he won the special election, he got right to work to introduce legislat…

It’s time to repeal the AUMF

I’m calling on Kevin McCarthy to bring the AUMF repeal to the House floor for a vote. vote Join me.   I was an 18-year-old starry-eyed kid when I went to West Point. By my sophomore year, the gravity of what I had taken on began to set in. It was September 11, 2001, and virtually ev…

A real sense of urgency

It's only a matter of time

  Team: Republicans have named Pat a top-five target and it’s only a matter of time before they start spending big to defeat him. To that, we say: Bring. It. On. We know Pat has a winning message, and he is a champion for the issues that matter to the people of the Hudson Valley. W…

$6 million

  Folks, today we’re asking you to pitch in $6 to Pat’s campaign for Congress. Why $6? Because last year, Republican PACs and dark money donors spent nearly $6 million to defeat Pat. This time around, we can expect millions more in outside spending pouring into the district to flip…

Some facts

Re: Top target

Never too early to be thinking about the next election

Dark money donors

  Team — One thing we can count on in this election? Republicans will be spending big to defeat Pat. Last year, Kevin McCarthy’s Super PAC, GOP-aligned groups, and their deep-pocketed friends spent nearly $6,000,000 to attack Pat and support their candidate of choice. Now, Republic…

George Santos...

Early money

  When we say early money in a campaign can be a difference-maker, we mean it, team. Because Pat’s district is in New York, the cost of running TV ads in our area is expensive. And the sooner we can make ad buys, the better the rate we can get — and the less competition we’ll face …
