John, 

With the GOP prepared to invest millions of dollars into flipping New York red, I’ve set an ambitious $75,000 mid-month goal.

I rely on donations from grassroots supporters like you to hit these goals — not corporate PACs. That’s why I’m about to ask you to make a donation to help me meet this critical mid-month goal. (If you’re ready to give now, you can chip in here.)

But first, I want to personally thank you for standing with me as we take on the toughest fights in Washington.

Thank you for having my back when we fought for health care coverage for 9/11 first responders and expanded benefits for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits. We must ensure that our heroes get the care that they need.

Thank you for never giving up the fight to make gun trafficking a federal crime. After 14 years, my legislation was finally passed in last year's Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. Already, we're stopping the flow of illegal guns into New York.

Thank you for supporting my work to invest in communities all across our state. In just the last few weeks, we’ve announced more than $3 million in federal funding for our fire departments, over $6 million for mental health services and a multimillion-dollar investment in child care, high-speed internet and more across the North Country.

My record is about winning real results for the families I swore to serve — not for corporations or megadonors. And none of that would be possible without your continued, tireless support. Thank you.

But here's the bad news: Republicans are emboldened after their historic victories in New York in 2022. Now, they're laying the groundwork for an even bigger red wave in 2024 — and they're directly targeting my seat.

We can’t let the GOP undo all of the progress that we’ve made. But I need help from grassroots people like you to defeat their far-right megadonors. So please, John, will you chip in $5 or more before midnight tonight to help me hit my urgent mid-month goal? The future of New York and our country is on the line. I’m counting on you to stand with me. 

Thank you again for everything that you do. It’s an honor to serve you and your family in the Senate.

With gratitude and love,
Kirsten
