Subject: Our path to victory and what we need to stay competitive

John,

We wanted to take a moment to give you an important update on the state of the race and why your support is more crucial than ever.

As you know, this district is one of the most competitive in the country. We flipped it blue in 2024 by a razor-thin margin. Now, Republicans are already targeting us with attack ads and throwing money into this race to take it back.

With Republicans controlling the House, Senate, and the White House, this fight is about more than just one seat. It’s about ensuring we can block their MAGA agenda and hold them accountable for their attacks on working families, health care and our democracy.

Here’s the reality:

• Election experts are calling this race a toss-up — the only one in New York.
• National Republicans are pouring in money to flip this seat red.
• We’re already facing attack ads from their super PACs.
• If we don’t meet our June FEC fundraising goal we risk looking weak, opening the door for extremists who want to strip away progress and push dangerous policies.

Our campaign needs funding to stay competitive. It’s that simple.

Every dollar you contribute helps us:

• Counter the GOP attacks with ads, outreach and digital campaigns.
• Build the infrastructure we need to mobilize voters and stay ahead in this race.
• Ensure we have the resources to get out the vote and defend this district.

Can Laura count on you to contribute today to keep us on track to defend this seat and take back the House?

P.S. We know this is going to be a tight race, but with your support, we can make sure we stay competitive. This district is pivotal and we can’t afford to fall short of our June FEC goal. Please, give what you can today.
