Hey team — thanks for opening this message.

We know it can get overwhelming to see the number of emails asking for support hit your inbox these days. We’re grateful that you’ve chosen to stay in the trenches with us to help Pat win his toss-up race.

We’ll explain why these emails are so important in just a moment, but first, will you pitch in $10 to help us defend Pat’s seat? According to a recent poll, 10% of voters remain undecided in this race, and we won’t have the resources to persuade them unless we hit our grassroots fundraising targets.

There’s a reason we send so many of these emails. To quote Scott MacFarlane of CBS News, Pat’s race is “uniquely expensive” and “one of the most expensive races for either party in Congress this cycle.”

To stay toe-to-toe with Alison Esposito’s billionaire supporters, we need to keep our ads on the airwaves as long as possible to ensure we reach every voter with Pat’s message.

But placing ads in the Hudson Valley means we have to buy up ad time in the New York City media market — which is the most expensive in the country. That puts a big strain on our budget compared to many campaigns.

Unlike Alison Esposito, Pat doesn’t accept a dime in corporate PAC donations — because this campaign is about moving the Hudson Valley forward, not appeasing special interests or party leaders. Instead, his campaign has always been powered by grassroots donations. That’s something we should all be proud of.

We can see the finish line, but we can’t get there without grassroots support in this final stretch of the race. Team, will you make a $10 contribution today to help Pat defend this seat and flip the House blue?

Thanks,

Pat Ryan HQ
