John: before today is over, I wanted to make sure you heard from me.

I'll cut to the chase. The clock is ticking, and we're mere hours away from our final and most important deadline: the FEC end-of-quarter fundraising deadline at midnight.

I can't overstate the importance of reporting strong end-of-quarter fundraising figures, John. If you're able to give, there is no better time than right now. Can you chip in $5, or whatever you are able to, right now?

I believe NY-16 deserves a representative who fights for them, not wealthy Wall Street executives. But, for 30 years, incumbent Representative Eliot Engel has failed to produce results for working-class New Yorkers.

I also believe that our grassroots, people-led movement can beat him — but only if we have the resources to take him, his wealthy backers, and the establishment on. So can you please chip in $5 to my campaign right now and help us finish out this quarter strong?

No matter what, I want to thank you for your support, especially during these uncertain times. Our movement wouldn't exist without people like you, and I certainly wouldn't be able to do this without you.

With gratitude,

Jamaal
