John, Congressman George Santos claimed he was Jewish.

He claimed his grandparents survived the Holocaust and that his mother survived the September 11th terrorist attacks in New York City.

He claimed he graduated from college as a star volleyball player, worked for Goldman Sachs, and ran a foundation that rescued 2500 dogs and cats.

These claims were lies — all of them.

And that doesn’t even scratch the surface of the web of brazen lies Santos told to get elected.

George Santos is a disgrace. He’s an embarrassment to our district, state, and country. And now, he’s facing 13 federal charges for crimes including money laundering and fraud.

That’s why I’ve announced my run for Congress to replace him.

I was born in Iran to a Jewish family. My family faced religious persecution, so at age 13, my parents put me on a plane, not knowing when -- or if -- they’d see me again. I landed in New York and found a place where women had real rights and could determine their futures.

I graduated from college and law school and met my husband, Darren. I ran for Town Council and won. And when our state legalized gay marriage, and the town clerk refused to perform the ceremonies, I proudly stepped in to perform them.

Next, I ran for New York State Senate, unseated a well-funded Republican, flipped the seat, and flipped the chamber to give Democrats control for the first time in decades. In the Senate, I sponsored and passed bills codifying Roe v. Wade and banning untraceable ghost guns.

Now, I’m running for Congress to provide real representation to the people of New York because the truth is, Santos’ lies aren’t even the worst thing about him.

Santos is a Trump-supporting, election-denying, anti-choice, and pro-assault rifle disgrace to our district. He doesn’t represent our values, and I’m committed to defeating him next November.

But that’s only going to happen with your support. So today, I’m asking: Will you split $25 between Blue Amp Action and my campaign to help me defeat George Santos?

My husband and I have spent 30 years here. We’ve raised our daughters here. It’s our home. This district voted for Joe Biden in 2020, and it’s time this district’s representative in Congress reflected our values

Let’s win this thing,

Anna Kaplan

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world.

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits.

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
