John,

In just a moment, we’re going to ask if you can spare a one-time contribution of $2.90 to support Brad Lander before tonight's mid-month fundraising deadline.

That’s right, $2.90, John — the cost of fare for one subway ride.

We know that $2.90 might not seem like enough to make a difference. After all, fares alone won’t close the $15 billion hole in the MTA’s Capital Program left after Governor Hochul's disastrous decision to halt congestion pricing last week.

But for Brad, it really adds up. Contributions from New York City residents are matched 8 to 1 – meaning one $2.90 donation has a $26.10 impact!

As New York City Comptroller, Brad does everything he can to make the City run more justly and transparently — and that’s the approach he takes to fundraising, too.

Brad doesn't accept campaign contributions from any corporate PACs or real estate PACs. He also doesn’t accept contributions from principals of for-profit development or private equity companies.

From exploring all legal avenues to resume congestion pricing, to ensuring retirement security for City retirees, Brad truly has New Yorkers’ backs. In order to continue this work, he’s relying on support from neighbors like you.

John, if we told you that donating $2.90 before our June mid-month fundraising deadline could have such a meaningful impact, would you pitch in today?

Stand clear of the closing doors please,

Team Lander

P.S. As New Yorkers, we get from one place to another one subway at a time (well, when the MTA runs on time). If you’re in a place to do so, please consider chipping in $2.90 before tonight's fundraising deadline.
