Friend, elections in the United States should be determined by the people -- not by whichever special interest group can spend the most.

But yesterday, the Congressional Leadership Fund (the campaign arm of the House GOP and the single highest-spending super PAC of the 2018 cycle) announced it is buying $600,000 worth of airtime in our district.

They know that John Katko's embrace of Donald Trump puts him out of step with the voters of NY-24. They know that Dana's grassroots-powered campaign is surging. And they want to reverse all of that by spending on waves of misleading ads.

We cannot let them succeed -- we've come too far. We need $6,000 more in grassroots donations by Wednesday to stay on track for our April budget targets and ensure that we have the resources to quickly respond to any attacks.

Can you make a donation right now? We need at least 25 donations by tonight to be on pace for this critical goal.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Thank you,

Team Balter
