Friend,

As I’ve lived, worked, taught, and organized, I’ve had the chance to meet an incredible array of young people who inspire me and push me to be better every day. I'm in this race to make a better future for them.

I was humbled last week to read an op-ed by Andres Victoria, a graduating senior at Syracuse, in the Daily Orange. Here's some of what he said:

"I have never felt represented by [John Katko's] leadership during my time in central New York. Now, as I graduate from SU, I enter a job market that is in shambles, all while Katko raves about how well he claims the economy is doing. The people of central New York deserve better.

I am optimistic about the future, though. In my time at SU, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know Dana Balter. A former professor at SU, she decided enough was enough. She ran an election in 2018 and inspired thousands of people, including me. To Balter, universal healthcare, gun safety, infrastructure improvements and lowering student debt are issues on the top of her priority list. Unlike Katko, she doesn’t just talk the talk. She walks the walk. She was there for the student protests this past year. She was vocal about expanding healthcare for Americans, long before this pandemic showed the current system’s flaws. She has been a champion for helping our environment and keeping our schools safe. With Katko, it’ll be more of the same. With Balter, the future is bright."

Young people throughout this district, from Syracuse to Oswego, from Auburn to Palmyra, know that they deserve better than the status quo. I am determined to make sure our movement includes them -- because that's how we bring strong, progressive change to central and western New York.

In this defining election, it’s crucial that we hear every young person's voice -- and with absentee ballots already being mailed out across our district and our state, we need to make a huge final push to get our team and our movement over the finish line. Let’s make sure that everyone’s voice is heard.

Our team is in the middle of a major weekend of action to reach voters, and we need another $1,681 by tomorrow to boost our outreach. Can we count on you to chip in?
