John,

A month or two ago I wrote to you with a big announcement: my friend and former Senate counsel Josh Riley is running for Congress in New York’s 19th District – one of the most competitive races in the country.

Now I’m back with an even bigger announcement: Josh is running for Congress in one of the most competitive races in the country… AND his wife just had a baby!

While Josh is catching sleep in 30-minute increments and cleaning up spit-up, I’m pitching in to make sure his fundraising doesn’t look like a dirty diaper. So I have to ask, will you make a contribution to Josh’s campaign today?

You know who’s probably getting a full night's sleep? Josh’s opponent, Marc Molinaro. In fact, he’s probably dreaming about taking away someone’s rights, rolling back gun safety legislation or blocking progress on clean energy – he’s only been in Congress a couple of months and he’s already done all that and more!

We need someone like Josh in Congress – he’s the real deal.

After graduating from Harvard Law School, Josh worked on a landmark civil rights lawsuit to help kids from low-income families get access to healthcare. When I was in the Senate, Josh and I passed bills expanding rights for survivors of domestic abuse and providing new funding for addiction treatment and mental health programs. And since then, Josh has fought in the Supreme Court to block the Trump Administration’s Muslim Ban and plans to deport Dreamers.

Even before he was a dad, Josh was always looking out for the little guy.

So what do you say, John? Will you contribute $5 or whatever you can (or more than you can) to my friend Josh Riley to help him win one of the most important races in the country in 2024?

Thanks,

Al

P.S. I like the P.S. because it’s one more opportunity to ask for a donation. So donate now!
