John,

In exactly one month, Jamaal has his primary, so we're pulling out all the stops to make sure he wins on June 23.

That's why, today, we're embarking on our most ambitious fundraising effort yet: we need to raise $9,500 by midnight tonight to grow our grassroots power to help Jamaal win.

Even better, a group of top donors agreed to match each donation, dollar-for-dollar — but only until midnight tonight! Chip in now to have your support for our campaign doubled:

Jamaal has proven that he will fight for working-class families in Congress. He's done so during his two decades in education, and he's continuing to do so right now amidst the coronavirus pandemic — even as Eliot Engel refuses to come back to this district, instead ignoring his constituents from the safety of his "primary home" in suburban Maryland.

Eliot Engel has shown us that we cannot rely on establishment Democrats to represent our communities. Engel gets his funding from corporate PACs and lobbyists, and in exchange, he votes in favor of Wall Street while actively ignoring the rest of us.

Unlike Jamaal, Engel isn't running because he believes in bold, progressive change for working-class families of NY-16. He's running so he can keep his seat as one of the most entrenched, powerful Democrats in the House.

It's on us to make sure this doesn't happen again, John — and, in just one month, we can. Will you join me in making a $5 contribution to our campaign towards our $9,500 goal by midnight?

Don't forget, every dollar you give right now will be matched by a group of our top donors:

We're not only running a campaign to get Jamaal elected to Congress. We're building a movement powered by people who are ready to fight for Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, to fix our broken criminal justice system, and a brighter future for working-class families.

Anything you can give right now will go a long way — twice as far, thanks to our match. Thanks for standing with us.

In solidarity,

Luke Hayes, Campaign Manager
Bowman for Congress
