If your inbox is anything like ours, it gets barraged at the end of the month by campaigns and organizations rushing to meet their monthly fundraising goals. And some of them can use some pretty exaggerated tactics.

Like this ✨ 400% ✨ match:

It sounds too good to be true – and that’s because it is. No donations are getting 400% matched. They are lying to try and get people to donate.

So here’s a promise: We will never lie to trick you into donating. No fake deadlines, no fake matches. Just real information about what we need to do to run the most competitive campaign possible.

And here’s some good news: In New York state, we do have a *real* match program – all donations from in-state residents will be matched 6-to-1! So your $10 donation will have a $70 impact.

That’s part of what makes emails like this one so important to our campaign. And with our first public fundraising deadline barreling toward us, it’s never been more critical that we build a large grassroots team.

Whether Antonio wins this race is ultimately going to come down to if we raise enough to compete with the corporate PACs that are flooding Kathy Hochul with millions of dollars.

So while we don’t expect you to donate to every email we send, we hope that you’ll donate to this one.

Please use this link to donate $5, or whatever you can afford, to Antonio’s campaign for New York. Anything you can give will go directly to building a campaign for transformative change.

Thank you,
Team Delgado
