John, 

My end-of-quarter deadline is just around the corner. With the GOP prepared to invest millions of dollars into flipping New York red, I’ve set an ambitious $100,000 goal.

I rely on donations from grassroots supporters like you to hit these goals — not corporate PACs. That’s why I’m about to ask you to make a donation to help me close out this quarter on the strongest possible footing. (If you’re ready to give now, you can chip in here.)

But first, I want to personally thank you for standing with me as we take on the toughest fights in Washington.

Thank you for never giving up the fight to make gun trafficking a federal crime. After 13 years, my legislation was finally passed in last year's Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. Already, we're stopping the flow of illegal guns into New York.

Thank you for having my back as I lead the fight to protect Social Security and Medicare and ensure that seniors can retire in dignity.

Thank you for proudly standing with me in my fight to certify the Equal Rights Amendment. Today, we’re so close to finally establishing gender equality in our Constitution — giving us a legal basis to restore reproductive rights.

But here's the bad news: If Republicans flip even one Senate seat, they could retake the majority and undo all of our progress. With 23 Democratic seats on the ballot, our grassroots resources will be stretched thin. Especially after the GOP’s historic gains in New York last year, I need your help to defend my must-win seat.

That's why I have to ask: Please, will you rush $5 or more before midnight tonight to help me hit my end-of-quarter goal and defend our Senate majority? I refuse to accept money from corporate PACs, so I’m counting on your support, John.

Thank you again for everything that you do. It’s an honor to take on these fights with you by my side.

With gratitude and love,
Kirsten
