John, I want to personally thank you for always 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 supporting my hard-won legislation that empowers survivors of sexual assault in the military to seek justice. Together, we took on the Pentagon to win reforms that will create a fairer system for service members.

Thank you for never giving up the fight to make gun trafficking a federal crime. After 14 years of advocacy, late nights and whipping votes, my legislation was finally passed in the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act and is helping to stop the flow of illegal guns into New York.

Thank you for your continued commitment to family rights and gender equity. With your support, I have spent the last decade fighting for national paid family leave for all workers. And now, I'm proud to lead the charge to add the Equal Rights Amendment to our Constitution — which would finally give us the legal basis to restore reproductive rights across the 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.

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 this November — and they're directly targeting my seat. I refuse to accept a single cent from corporate PACs, so I'm relying on grassroots donors like you to compete with their right-wing megadonors.

Please, John, you've stood by me so many times before and I'm counting on you to have my back again. Will you chip in before my end-of-month deadline to join me in this fight for progress and defend our Senate majority? Your support would mean so much to me.

With gratitude and love,

Kirsten
