John, it's Kirsten. I'm about to ask you to make a $5 donation ahead of my end-of-quarter deadline. This is an incredibly important deadline, and I'm counting on your help to hit my goal. But first, I want to thank you — so much — for supporting my campaign.

I'm fighting every single day to earn your support and deliver on the promises I've made to you. From certifying the Equal Rights Amendment so that we can restore reproductive rights nationwide to fighting gun violence and keeping our communities safe, I'm working tirelessly to win change for your family.

As my grandmother taught me when I was a young girl, politics isn't about parties or polling numbers. It's about the people. It's my job to serve your family and do everything that I can to make life better for you. And it's an honor that I'm grateful for every day. So thank you for trusting me with your support and giving me this incredible opportunity to serve.

I wish that I could end this email here. But unfortunately, elections are an unavoidable part of politics. And to continue to serve your family in the Senate and win progress on all the issues you care about — reproductive rights, affordable health care, protecting our seniors and so much more — I need your help.

Democrats are heading into a historically difficult election cycle. And here in New York, right-wing extremists had their best election in decades in 2022. I'm confident that we can reverse that trend this year. But because I refuse to accept money from corporate PACs, I'm counting on grassroots donations to compete with far-right megadonors. 

Please, if I've earned your support and trust fighting for you in the Senate, will you make a donation to help me continue this work and defend my seat? I'm up against a critical deadline, and I need a surge in grassroots support now to hit my goal.

Thank you for trusting me to fight for your family. It is the highest honor.

With gratitude and love,

Kirsten
