Team — Here at Pat Ryan HQ, we want to make sure you’re looped in on the strategic planning and decision-making we’re doing as we prepare for a competitive reelection campaign.

Before we ask you to chip in ahead of our monthly deadline, we want to give you some guiding facts to explain why we’re asking for your support today.

Fact: According to FiveThirtyEight, the candidate in congressional races who spends the most wins 90% of the time.

Fact: The House GOP’s main campaign arm has raised $51 million so far this year (not to mention massive fundraising hauls from Elise Stefanik and Kevin McCarthy). Some of this money is going to be spent supporting whoever runs against Pat.

Fact: Running for office in New York is expensive — the New York media market is the #1 most expensive in the nation, which makes it all the more important that we communicate with voters on TV, in person, by mail, and online as frequently as possible.

Fact: This is a grassroots campaign powered by folks like you pitching in. We set monthly fundraising goals to stay on pace and make sure we’re not in a cash-pinch later down the road — because truthfully, we can’t risk being outspent by a GOP opponent propped up by McCarthy and Stefanik.

Fact: If everyone reading this email pitched in $10 today, we would hit our monthly fundraising goal in no time! So, can you chip in today?
