John,

We just crossed a very exciting campaign fundraising milestone: $1,000,000 raised from individual donors!

Our average online gift is just $40, with half of our online donors giving $10 or less. Thanks to the support of tens of thousands of people, we were able to achieve a milestone that few grassroots campaigns ever achieve.

With just 18 days left to go until the primary, we need all hands on deck to make sure we can maintain the voter outreach, digital ads, and organizing we'll need to win. Can you chip in?

While we were able to file our strongest FEC fundraising numbers to date last Wednesday, we're also expecting Eliot Engel to post some strong numbers as well. In fact, the last FEC filing showed that he has nearly five times more cash on hand than we do.

It's hard work unseating an incumbent — and it's even harder when they continue to collect checks from Wall Street, corporate PACs, and lobbyists. Given the poor press that Eliot Engel has recently gotten, it's likely that even bigger checks are coming in from the entities who want him to stay in power.

But John, we won't be deterred. We're closer to beating Engel than we've ever been, and than anyone else has come in decades. If we continue to put our $3, $5, and $10 donations together, we can win the primary on June 23 and end Eliot Engel's 31 years in Congress.

Can we count on you to chip in $5 or whatever you're able to today?

In solidarity,

Luke Hayes, Campaign Manager
Bowman for Congress
