Re: NY-04 State of the Race Memo

Date: February 22, 2024

Here’s an important update on how we can flip the most flippable Congressional race in New York:

• Laura is the best candidate to represent NY-04: Laura knows first-hand the challenges facing New York families and has an impactful record of service to this community. Laura will fight in Congress to make our communities more affordable, protect women's right to bodily autonomy, secure the border, and pass common-sense gun safety legislation. She’ll be a champion for our district in Congress. We need your support to elect Laura to represent NY-04.


• A strong foundation to build on: Congressman-elect Suozzi’s victory is an exciting indication that Democrats can win again on Long Island. Like Suozzi, Laura has a bipartisan record of delivering results. In Congress, she will work on affordability, protecting reproductive rights, and stand up to Republican extremism.


• We’re now the #1 target: Republican Super PACs are gearing up to spend millions of dollars to protect their razor-thin majority, hitting the airwaves to protect MAGA extremist Anthony D’Esposito. Political Experts at The Cook Political Report and Sabato’s Crystal Ball both rated this race as a toss-up. We need to close the fundraising gap and amplify our campaign to flip this most winnable seat.

Our campaign is powered by grassroots supporters like you, and we need your help to win this race and take back the Democratic House Majority. Will you join our grassroots team by making a contribution today?
