| John - If you told me a decade ago that I’d be emailing and texting conservatives like you about a negative attack ad my opponent just launched, I would have thought you were lying! | | 10 years ago, I was serving on a deployment as a US Special Forces Green Beret. Serving my country was one of the greatest honors I’ve had, and I’d do it all over again if I could. Seeing firsthand what happens when democracy falls, and chaos erupts made me appreciate the freedom and safety we have at home in America. | | I thought my service ended after retiring from the US Special Forces, but everything changed in August 2021. | | In August 2021, Joe Biden called for the hasty evacuation of US troops from Afghanistan, resulting in the deaths of 13 US service members. | | Hearing stories from the Gold Star Families who went through this tragedy was heartbreaking. None of those families should have ever experienced that kind of loss, Friend. | | I knew right then and there I had to do something to fix the state of our country under the Biden Administration. | | That’s why I’m running for Congress. Not as some entitled, out-of-touch ivory tower liberal or liberal multi-millionaire, but as a Green Beret vet and political outsider who can’t watch his country go down the drain. | | I will never let another family go through what the 13 Gold Star Families did, and I refuse to let the radical Left ruin our country more. | | That’s why I’m reaching out to you today. I’m not afraid of the DC swamp, but I won’t stand a chance if I don’t raise enough from this email to fight back against the negative ads my opponent is currently airing. | | People think they have to chip in hundreds of dollars to make a difference, but that simply is not true! | | I’ve been humbled by the outpouring of support from grassroots supporters like you, I am hopeful you help us one more time. | | Paid for by Team Elise, a joint fundraising committee authorized by and composed of Elise for Congress and E-PAC. www.elisestefanik.com | | PO Box 500 Glens Falls, NY 12801 | | This email was sent to: [email protected].
