John,
My friend and former Senate counsel Josh Riley just made a BIG announcement.
Josh is running for Congress in New York’s 19th District — a key district to taking back the House in 2024.
He ran for the seat last cycle in his first political race, nearly defeating a 30-year career politician and Republican Marcus Molinaro – losing 50.8% to 49.2% in a district where some Democrats at the top of the ticket lost by more than 6 points.
Josh will win this time! And I will give you five reasons why 2024 promises to be better than 2022.
But first, let’s help Josh’s 2024 campaign get off to a great start. Will you join me right now by splitting a contribution of $10 or more between Josh Riley and UNITEDemocrats right now? He’s not taking corporate PAC money and he’s counting on individual supporters like you and me, John. » [[link removed]]

Here are five reasons why 2022 was a seriously hard year to win in New York as a Democrat, and why it’s so impressive Josh came as close to winning as he did:
1.
Redistricting.
Last
cycle,
the
New
York
State
Legislature
drew
a
congressional
map
that
the
New
York
State
Courts
deemed
too
partisan
—
so
they
threw
it
out
and
redrew
it
themselves.
Unfortunately,
for
five
months
Josh
had
been
running
in
the
wrong
damn
district!
The
only
good
part
is
that
the
working-class
town
Josh
grew
up
in
remained
in
the
newly
formed
19th
District.
But
Josh
had
a
whole
bunch
of
new
territory
in
which
to
make
himself
known.
2.
3.
Primaries.
Josh
had
to
win
an
expensive
primary
challenge
in
late
August
against
a
strong
opponent.
Still,
Josh
won
the
primary
by
a
nearly
two-to-one
margin.
By
working
his
butt
off,
not
that
he
had
much
of
a
butt
to
start
with—have
you
seen
this
guy?
Beanpole!
4.
5.
Marc
Molinaro.
Josh’s
Republican
opponent
in
the
general
election
had
already
been
a
State
Assembly
Member,
County
Executive
and
GOP
candidate
for
governor
in
2018,
losing
to
then-Governor
Cuomo.
Molinaro
gained
wide
name
recognition
and
had
no
challengers
in
his
2022
primary.
But
now
he
has
a
record
to
run
on–and
it’s
not
a
good
one.
He’s
voting
95%
of
the
time
with
Marjorie
Taylor-Greene!
6.
7.
Crazy
GOP
Attack
Ads.
Republicans
had
momentum
statewide,
and
they
ran
tons
of
deeply
dishonest
dark
money
ads
that
said
crap
like,
“Josh
Riley’s
allies
want
to
defund
the
police.”
I
don’t
know
who
Josh’s
“allies”
are
but
Josh
and
I
funded
the
police—getting
crisis
intervention
training
and
bullet
proof
vests
for
local
police
departments
across
the
country.
It
was
completely
false,
and
it
was
sickening.
8.
9.
Midterm
vs.
Presidential
Years.
2024
will
not
be
a
midterm!
Ultimately,
too
many
New
York
Democrats
didn’t
show
up
in
a
number
of
races
this
past
cycle.
But
this
time,
not
only
is
the
presidency
on
the
line
–
so
is
the
Supreme
Court.
You
can
bet
Democrats
will
turn
out!
So now that you know how tough 2022 was — and how CLOSE Josh came to pulling it off — are you ready to join me in supporting Josh for 2024?
Split a contribution to support UNITEDemocrats and Josh’s campaign — he’s going to win one of the most important races in America for 2024 and I want you to be a part of it. »
