Hi, it’s Congressman Pat Ryan (NY-18). Last year, we sent shockwaves around the country when we won an unprecedented August Special Election in Upstate New York. It was about freedom: I joined the race two weeks after the leaked SCOTUS decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. The writing was on the wall. A radicalized SCOTUS propped up by far-right politicians was preparing to deliver the most egregious attack on American freedoms I’d seen in my lifetime: stripping women of bodily autonomy and overturning Roe v. Wade. It was inconceivable, but worse, I knew It wouldn’t end there. Extremists were going to fight until they banned abortion nationwide. It’s the opposite of everything I’ve spent my life fighting to defend. I swore an oath to defend this country when I attended West Point. Later, I served two combat tours in Iraq. If Washington extremists were going to have this fight, I was getting in it too. Because I’m a patriot, and patriots fight on the side of freedom.  We did it because we were unequivocal about the stakes. I always will be. Chip in $10 to my campaign and to Eric Sorensen for Illinois if you’re ready to hold NY-18 and secure the House majority. We pulled no punches despite all the ‘conventional wisdom’ that would indicate a GOP victory. We won a special election in Upstate New York with a very basic strategy: protect freedom. It’s been a year. The fight isn’t over. We will win some battles and lose others, but I am sure that the strength and resolve of patriots standing united will always win. It always has. I’ll be in the ring as long as it takes, and I hope you’ll stand with me. Please, chip in to my campaign and to Eric Sorensen for Illinois so we can keep up the fight.
