Hi team,
There’s no question: our opponent will have MAGA dark money and the national GOP behind them in this race.
Elise Stefanik made me her top target in 2024 — and she’s pledged to spend $100 million in New York before Election Day. $100 million. I can barely wrap my head around how many deceptive, divisive, and damaging attack ads that will translate to on TV.
But while Elise Stefanik, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and our opponent might have MAGA money on their side, we have something they don’t. And that’s momentum.
We saw that momentum at work when voters in New York’s third congressional district powered Democrat Tom Suozzi to victory just a few weeks ago.
House Republicans flooded the district with millions of dollars for the special election. They threw everything they had into the race — even paying snow plows to clear the streets so the far-right MAGA base could get to the polls.
But it wasn’t enough. Grassroots supporters — including folks on this team — recognized the stakes of this race, and they dove in head first. They chipped in a few bucks at a time to help Democrats counter the nasty attack ads. They knocked on doors and spoke to their neighbors about the importance of voting.
They never gave up, and their dedication to our democracy and our freedoms inspired others to join them.
That’s the kind of momentum that leads to victory, and we can’t let it slip away. So with just days until our upcoming end-of-month deadline — and the next big test of our grassroots momentum — please chip in to show your support for my re-election campaign and send a message to MAGA Republicans that we’re not backing down.

With the special election in NY-03 behind us, the GOP has turned their attention to our race. We have a plan to win, engage voters, get our message out, and organize across the district — but we need the resources to do it. Your help, of any amount, can make a difference and help push our momentum.
I know this team can do it — and I’m grateful in advance for your support.
Yours in service,
Pat
