Team, here’s what you need to know about the state of the NY Governor’s race.

I’m Preston, campaign manager for Governor Kathy Hochul — and I want to be upfront with you:

We’re just a few days away from a critical end-of-month fundraising deadline, and what we raise right now will set the tone for the fight ahead.

While Governor Hochul continues delivering for New Yorkers with a budget that lowers costs, strengthens public safety, and puts money back in people’s pockets, the GOP is watching this race closely. And they’re not being subtle about it.

Trump’s inner circle is already obsessed with the 2026 midterms. Elise Stefanik is eyeing a run to unseat Governor Hochul. It’s clear that D.C. Republicans see New York as a big prize — and they’re ready to pour in major resources the moment a candidate steps up.

We need to be ready before that happens.

That’s why this deadline matters. Your donation today helps us build the team, reach the voters, and fight back against the attacks we know are coming.

If you can, please chip in $5 or more before our end-of-month deadline to support Governor Hochul and keep New York moving forward:

Thanks for being part of this team — we can’t do this without you.
