Below is a message from Former State Sen. Anna Kaplan (background in biology) who is the leading Democrat running to defeat GOP Rep. George Santos (in a district Joe Biden carried in 2020).
My name is Anna Kaplan, I’m a former State Senator, I have a STEM background, I arrived to this country as a child refugee, and I’m running against the most vulnerable Republican in Congress – George Santos.
I wanted to give you a personal update about our campaign: But right now I’m up against the first FEC deadline of my campaign to date and it’s important we outraise Santos. Will you be one of the 1,000 donors we need to donate before midnight so we’re on track to reach this major goal?
I’m no stranger to tough fights, friends.
In 2018 I ran for the New York State Senate in a district Republicans won by nearly 15 points in 2014. Democrats were on the verge of flipping control of the Senate and winning this district would secure that Democratic majority.
So I ran – knowing it would be an uphill battle – and we organized in every part of that district, including the parts considered to be reliably Republican, because I believed the people there deserved better and deserved real representation.
We won – And flipped control of the chamber. As State Senator, I sponsored measures to codify the protections of Roe v. Wade into law years before the Supreme Court decision struck down that precedent and took action on gun violence. And I never stopped being present in every corner of the district because that’s what it means to be a public servant.
The people of New York’s 3rd Congressional District deserve far better than George Santos, who is facing 13 Federal charges including money laundering and fraud. This is a district that Joe Biden carried and with your support, Democrats will carry again next November.
My first FEC deadline is fast-approaching: Can I count on you to be one of the 1,000 donors we need before midnight so we can build the campaign that will flip this seat and flip control of the House?

Thank you,
Anna
