Team — check out what Scott MacFarlane of CBS News just said about Pat’s race here in NY-18:
“They’re fighting a uniquely expensive battle. To get on the air and win a race in that part of New York, you gotta buy those expensive ads in New York City. So look for this to be one of the most expensive races for either party in Congress this cycle.”

We’ve been shouting it from the rooftops for months, and now, the national media is catching on: The path to a Democratic House majority runs right through NY-18, and winning Pat’s toss-up race is going to require a ton of resources.
In 2022, Pat won this seat by just 3,500 votes. In a competitive presidential election year, that means we need to reach every single undecided voter and earn their support — and a key way to that is by getting our message out through TV ads.
But since we’re competing for airtime in the crowded New York City media market, the most expensive in the country, it takes a ton of resources to break through. And that’s where grassroots supporters like you come in.
With 11 weeks to go until Election Day, top Republicans like Elise Stefanik and Mike Johnson are calling up their billionaire buddies and convincing them to pour tens of millions of dollars into the Hudson Valley to launch attack ads that completely misrepresent Pat’s record and drown out our positive message. And that’s on top of the $21 million they’ve already spent against Pat, more than any other Democrat in the country.
If we’re going to win this toss-up race, win back the House, and defeat MAGA extremism, it’s going to take all of us. So please, chip in $11 or more today and help us keep pace with the flood of outside spending that’s set to enter this race in the next 11 weeks.
