John,

In a moment, I’ll tell you three reasons why the upcoming FEC quarterly deadline is so important to our campaign.

But first, I have to ask: will you please chip in $5 or whatever you can today ahead of our big deadline?

1. NY-19 could decide the House majority. Experts at Cook Political Report and Sabato’s Crystal Ball have rated our race as one of the most competitive in the country, and national Democrats have targeted us as a key pickup opportunity to take back the House.

2. Kevin McCarthy and Elise Stefanik are pouring dark money into our race. They understand how critical this district is. That’s why McCarthy came to NY-19 last month to raise money for Molinaro, and it’s why Stefanik has pledged a $100M “guerilla warfare” campaign against us.

3. Molinaro has them, but I have you. While far-right extremists and corporate special interests bankroll Molinaro’s campaign, I’m doing things the right way: relying on the grassroots support of everyday folks like you. I’ll never take a penny from corporate PACs.

With only 3 days until our next FEC filing deadline, we’re running out of time to reach our ambitious fundraising goal. Can I count on you to chip in $5 or whatever you can today to support our team?

With gratitude & high hopes,

Josh
