As a kid from the Bronx who lived in poverty for most of my life, I never thought in my wildest dreams that I'd be running for Congress as the endorsed candidate of the New York Times.

According to polling, I am neck and neck with Rubén Díaz Sr. in this race. Díaz is a notoriously homophobic politician who’s made a career out of slurring the LGBTQ+ community and standing in the way of progress. He’s the antithesis of our progressive values, and he’s the wrong person to represent us in Washington.
His platform of hatred and bigotry is music to the ears of folks like Donald Trump and even Ted Cruz, who Diaz was brazen enough to publicly endorse AND campaign with in the Bronx back in 2016. In Diaz, extreme Republicans see an ally, and that says everything you need to know about him.
With 5 days to go, I need your help crossing the finish line and defeating Ruben Diaz, Sr.. The Times endorsement has brought a lot of attention to this race, and I’m ready to show the country exactly what this grassroots campaign is made of. Can you rush $25 right now to propel our people-powered movement to victory next Tuesday?
Thank you!
