John,

Our end-of-month fundraising deadline is just days away, and we’re running out of time to reach our goal. Marc Molinaro’s latest fundraising report makes it clear why we can’t afford to fall behind now, and exactly what we’re up against.

70% of Molinaro’s money last quarter came from special interest PACs and party bosses. If you can believe it, his FEC report listed only 18 real donors in our district! (By comparison, we had over 1,000 people in NY-19 chip in to our campaign.)

Upstate New Yorkers deserve better than career politicians who sell them out to special interests and Republican extremists. I’d rather have thousands of people chipping in a few bucks to this campaign than rely on corporate PACs cutting big checks.

That’s why I’m running for Congress and not accepting any money from corporate PACs.

Grassroots contributions from folks like you fuel our campaign. So even though it may not seem like it, any amount – even just $5 – goes a long way in our work.

Will you chip in $5 (or more!) to our campaign today ahead of our end-of-month deadline?

With gratitude & high hopes,

Josh
