Hi John! It's Alison. With only 20 days to go until Primary Day and 10 days until early vote begins, new polling from PIX11 shows that Andrew Cuomo’s lead is shrinking with Brad gaining ground — clearly showing that this is a three-way race. This poll proves what we’ve known to be true all along: the more voters hear about this corrupt politician, the less they like him. And tonight, Brad will be on the debate stage with Cuomo, Mamdani and the other mayoral candidates in the first official mayoral debate. In the debate, Brad will present himself as the leader with the progressive values to make the city more affordable, the real experience and management know-how to keep us safe, and the integrity to end the Adams-Cuomo nightmare of chaos and corruption. You can tune into the debate here, and if you are interested in live updates that you can share with friends and family, follow along here! In another exciting update, our second TV ad of the cycle is up and on airways! Catch Brad riding the Coney Island Cyclone and walking us through how he will lead with a clear, competent, and calm vision amidst the chaos that corrupt politicians like Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams have bestowed upon us. Meanwhile, Brad has won the support of key progressive champions across the city. Our rank #1 endorsements in the last week alone include Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, Brooklyn Young Democrats, NY League of Conservation Voters, former NY Attorney General Oliver Koppell, and former Assemblymember Richard Gottfried. Brad also secured endorsements from Teamsters Local 804, Assemblymember Claire Valdez, The Nation, Central Queens Independent Democrats, Assemblymember Jessica González-Rojas, Citizens Union, Bangladeshi Americans for Political Progress (BAPP), and more. But this campaign isn’t just about endorsements. It’s about showing up. On Wednesday, May 28, Brad hosted a town hall in Bay Ridge to challenge Rep. Nicole Malliotakis on her vote to gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other critical programs. When Malliotakis declined a public debate, Brad still showed up — and filled the room. Brad has also been on the ground meeting with Chinese business owners on 8th Avenue in Brooklyn, hearing directly about concerns around street cleanliness, illegal vending, and safety. Our newest policy plans on standing up for LGBTQ+ New Yorkers and arts and culture were also introduced. It’s the kind of listening and leadership that voters deserve, and exactly what Brad will bring to City Hall. We know this is a tight race. Every poll we’ve seen, public and internal, shows Brad in the top tier of candidates, consistently landing in the final three of ranked-choice voting and well-positioned to build the majority coalition needed to win. That’s even before we’ve begun to introduce him to the broader electorate and remind voters what’s really at stake: a choice between proven progressive leadership and Andrew Cuomo’s self-serving comeback bid. But to win, we need to meet the moment. That means every conversation matters and every dollar counts — and turning our fundraising strength into voter outreach across all five boroughs. That's why we are asking for your support talking to voters and for our next filing deadline of the campaign on June 9. Some more context: while we’ve hit the maximum for NYC’s public match program, we know that the Campaign Finance Board (CFB) withholds some funds until the 11th hour. We also need to account for disqualified funds. Brad wants to ensure we are in the best possible situation to deal with our expenses and have enough cash on hand leading up to Election Day. Can you make a contribution of $10 or any amount today? You can donate here. I am also asking you to please sign up for GOTV events as we move into the final stretch of the campaign! Check out our Mobilize page with all of the volunteer opportunities here. And finally, please find 5 friends to forward this email to and ask to sign up for events and to rank Brad as #1! Thanks, Alison Alison Hirsh If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: |
