I need to thank you.

Earlier this week, I officially launched my campaign to be the next governor of New York — presenting a new vision for our state. We had a powerful first few days, because of this grassroots team.

So thank you.

I know we’ve sent a lot of emails this week.

Just give me a chance to explain why emails like this one are so important.

Kathy Hochul has broken fundraising records from bringing in money from corporate PACs and long-standing monied interests.

We’re not running that kind of campaign. We aren’t chasing after corporate PAC checks – this campaign is accountable only to the people.

That means emails like this one where everyday New Yorkers chip in $5 or $10 at a time, will be crucial to our success. We need to raise enough money from grassroots donors, or we will be swamped by Hochul’s warchest.

But if your inbox is feeling crowded, you can click here to only hear from my team when urgent and necessary.

No matter what you decide, thank you for being part of this campaign. We’re just getting started and I am so proud to have you be part of this team.

Antonio
