Friends,

My friend and former Senate counsel Josh Riley just made a BIG announcement.

Josh is running for Congress in New York’s 19th District — a key district to taking back the House in 2024.

He ran for the seat last cycle in his first political race, nearly defeating a 30-year career politician and Republican Marcus Molinaro – losing 50.8% to 49.2% in a district where some Democrats at the top of the ticket lost by more than 6 points.

Josh will win this time! And I will give you five reasons why 2024 promises to be better than 2022.

But first, let’s help Josh’s 2024 campaign get off to a great start. Will you join me right now by splitting a contribution of $25 or more between Josh Riley and Yvette D. Clarke right now? He’s not taking corporate PAC money and he’s counting on individual supporters like you and me, friend. [[link removed]]

Here are five reasons why 2022 was a seriously hard year to win in New York as a Democrat, and why it’s so impressive Josh came as close to winning as he did:

*
Redistricting.
Last
cycle,
the
New
York
State
Legislature
drew
a
congressional
map
that
the
New
York
State
Courts
deemed
too
partisan
—
so
they
threw
it
out
and
redrew
it
themselves.
Unfortunately,
for
five
months
Josh
had
been
running
in
the
wrong
damn
district!
The
only
good
part
is
that
the
working-class
town
Josh
grew
up
in
remained
in
the
newly
formed
19th
District.
But
Josh
had
a
whole
bunch
of
new
territory
in
which
to
make
himself
known.
*
Primaries.
Josh
had
to
win
an
expensive
primary
challenge
in
late
August
against
a
strong
opponent.
Still,
Josh
won
the
primary
by
a
nearly
two-to-one
margin.
By
working
his
butt
off,
not
that
he
had
much
of
a
butt
to
start
with—have
you
seen
this
guy?
Beanpole!
*
Marc
Molinaro.
Josh’s
Republican
opponent
in
the
general
election
had
already
been
a
State
Assembly
Member,
County
Executive
and
GOP
candidate
for
governor
in
2018,
losing
to
then-Governor
Cuomo.
Molinaro
gained
wide
name
recognition
and
had
no
challengers
in
his
2022
primary.
But
now
he
has
a
record
to
run
on–and
it’s
not
a
good
one.
He’s
voting
95%
of
the
time
with
Marjorie
Taylor-Greene!
*
Crazy
GOP
Attack
Ads.
Republicans
had
momentum
statewide,
and
they
ran
tons
of
deeply
dishonest
dark
money
ads
that
said
crap
like,
“Josh
Riley’s
allies
want
to
defund
the
police.”
I
don’t
know
who
Josh’s
“allies”
are
but
Josh
and
I
funded
the
police—getting
crisis
intervention
training
and
bullet
proof
vests
for
local
police
departments
across
the
country.
It
was
completely
false,
and
it
was
sickening.
*
Midterm
vs.
Presidential
Years.
2024
will
not
be
a
midterm!
Ultimately,
too
many
New
York
Democrats
didn’t
show
up
in
a
number
of
races
this
past
cycle.
But
this
time,
not
only
is
the
presidency
on
the
line
–
so
is
the
Supreme
Court.
You
can
bet
Democrats
will
turn
out!
So
now
that
you
know
how
tough
2022
was
—
and
how
CLOSE
Josh
came
to
pulling
it
off
—
are
you
ready
to
join
me
in
supporting
Josh
for
2024?

Split a contribution to support Yvette's and Josh’s campaigns — he’s going to win one of the most important races in America for 2024 and I want you to be a part of it >> [[link removed]]
