Friend,

My job as president of EMILY's List is to elect pro-choice Democratic women like Dana Balter to office. I'm reaching out today to let you know why her race to flip NY-24 is so critical -- and to ask for your support before her first End-of-Quarter deadline of 2020.

Her opponent, Rep. John Katko, has voted multiple times to defund Planned Parenthood. He's voted against the Equal Rights Amendment and against closing the gender pay gap. He's welcomed fundraising help from the staunchly anti-choice Mike Pence. And he's embraced Donald Trump, whose words and actions towards women are despicable.

This district rejected Trump in 2016, and now that John Katko has shown his true colors, we have an excellent chance of flipping this seat in 2020. Can you donate $5 or more to help Dana show she has what it takes to win? Dana is working to reach a crucial fundraising goal on March 31 -- after which her numbers will be made public.

Candidates are now implementing their election-year plans. What they've raised in the first quarter will guide how much more they can build their teams, invest in new online organizing tools, and get their message out to voters.

Having worked with hundreds of campaigns of all sizes through EMILY's List, I can tell you that an extra $10,000, of $5,000, or even $2,500 makes a huge difference down the line. That's why your support now is so important.

Please friend, pitch in what you can for Dana before the end of the month. Your grassroots donations will add up -- so even a gift of just $5 or $10 goes a long way.

Thank you,

Stephanie Schriock
President, EMILY's List

P.S. Dana would be the first woman to represent NY-24 in Congress! It's truly exciting to help her make history -- and I know she'll be a fierce advocate for central and western New York families. Encourage your friends and family to support her here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/db-email-march
