| John, Hey there! You probably have never heard of me before, but this email is extremely important to Republicans' efforts to maintain our House Majority. I'd like to formally introduce myself to you, and I hope you'll consider making a donation after taking two minutes to read this through. WHO AM I? My name is Rosie Pino. I am an Ecuadorian-American born in the Bronx and raised in Clifton, NJ. I'm a wife, mother to 11 children, and a City Councilwoman who loves America and my community. Why do I love America? It's simple. This is the single-greatest country in the world. In no other country can you be born into a first-generation American family and grab onto the opportunities I was given. Being born in the Bronx and raised in New Jersey, my mother instilled in me two things: a tenacious work ethic and a strong belief in the American Dream. As an immigrant from Ecuador, my mom came to the USA in search of a better life for herself and her children. As a single mom, she raised me and my five siblings while working multiple jobs to put food on the table and a roof over our heads. She taught me that in the United States, anybody can achieve success and build a brighter future for their family if they work hard and believe in themselves. I could've easily become a statistic, but I didn't. I was a teen mom and a high school dropout, but my mom inspired me to break through the statistics and pursue the American Dream. I went back to school to complete my GED, earned an Associate's Degree from Passaic Community College, and went on to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Finance from Rutgers, all while working multiple jobs and supporting my young family. Once I graduated, I accepted a job offer from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Only in America is that possible. Growing up in the New York City Tri-State Area, I've always had to put my head down and ignore the outside noise as I pursued the American Dream. No bullsh*t, no excuses, just RESULTS for my community. I'm a lot like President Trump in that respect. We both have that "New York Tough" quality. We don't take "no" for an answer. We don't have time to waste on petty little nuances. We just get sh*t done. I never planned on getting involved in politics, but I felt the call to serve my community. After all, America afforded me and my family these blessings and opportunities; it's my duty to give back to my community as much as possible. In 2013, I was elected to the Clifton Board of Education, where I was a strong advocate for our children. I fought tirelessly to ensure the city provided students with a top-notch education while maintaining fiscal responsibility. In 2018, I decided to run for Clifton City Council to help even more of my community. I have advocated for local small businesses, nonprofit organizations, and economic development. I founded PINO (Providing Individuals New Opportunities), a nonpartisan organization initiative aimed at breaking the cycles of poverty and hopelessness by working with local businesses and elected officials to effect real change for the better. All that to say, I have a proven track record of exemplifying what it means to pursue the American Dream and to help others follow in that same pursuit. Now, I want to help ALL Americans do the same in Congress. WHY AM I RUNNING FOR CONGRESS? Politics is not my passion. It's merely a vehicle for helping my community. But right now, there's a lot of gridlock in Congress. Democrats are not willing to reach across the aisle to improve their constituents' lives. We need to expand our House Majority to get more done for Americans. When I first ran for City Council, I barely knew what I was getting myself into. All I knew was that someone talked to me about running and said I would be great in public office. But all that was on my mind was "how can I help my community more?" I'm not in it for the glory, the money, or the power. I'm in it for you! I'm in it for the struggling moms who are trying to put food on the table and keep their gas tank full. I'm in it for the children who have nowhere else to go. I'm in it for the workers who balance multiple jobs while their elected representatives are bickering over whether or not government employees should add their pronouns to their emails. A lot of people have called me the AOC of the Republican Party, and I have to say, I kind of like the ring of it. I may not agree with most, if not all, of her policy positions. But I have that same energetic and passionate personality that will drive attention to what I'm talking about in Congress. At the end of the day, if even one more person is better off with me representing them in Washington, D.C., then I've achieved my goal in politics. WHY DO I NEED YOUR HELP? Well, to put it simply – I need money so my campaign can place TV ads and reach voters where it counts most. There is no other way to win an election. The Radical Left has BILLIONS of dollars at their disposal. And their sole focus is to help Democrats win, regardless of whether those Democrats plan to represent ALL of their constituents or just their Democratic constituents. President Trump WON NJ-09 in 2024, but the Republican Congressional candidate running still lost. Both parties know this race will be highly contentious, and it's anyone's seat to win. The Left will be DUMPING MILLIONS into this race – they know it's a vulnerable Democrat seat that I can WIN for Republicans. But while my opponent has millions of dollars worth of resources available to her, I only rely on YOU—my grassroots supporters. Every single donation helps me, even if it's as small as $1. I know this was A LOT to read, so I'll keep the rest short and sweet. I'm humbly asking you to support a wife, a mother, and a no-bullsh*t Republican candidate for Congress with a donation of just $1 or more by midnight. Thank you, Rosie Pino  Meet Rosie Pino: Councilwoman Rosie Pino is a proud wife, mom, educator, community leader, and Clifton City Councilwoman. Her story embodies the American Dream. The daughter of immigrants, she has worked hard her entire life to break barriers, achieve success, and build a brighter future for her family.
Over the past decade, Rosie has dedicated herself to serving our community and fighting for the forgotten men and women of New Jersey who have been left behind by career politicians in both parties. She ran for local office and founded several nonprofits to protect the American Dream and ensure that future generations have the opportunity to thrive and prosper. She is a fighter who will always put people ahead of politics and a proven leader who will deliver results for hardworking New Jerseyans.
Rosie Pino was born in the Bronx to blue-collar Ecuadorean immigrant parents, one of six children. In many ways, Rosie could have easily become a statistic. She was primarily raised by a single mother and dropped out of high school after having her first child. However, Rosie's mom instilled in her a tenacious work ethic and a belief in the American Dream. Channeling that work ethic, Rosie went back to school. She completed her GED and proudly earned her bachelor's degree in Finance from Rutgers University, all while working multiple jobs to support her family. In the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, she joined the U.S. Department of the Treasury as a bank examiner. In that role, she played a pivotal part in assessing the health of banks and auditing their performance.
Rosie never planned on getting involved in politics, but she felt called to serve. Recalling the importance that education played in her own life and driven by a desire to ensure Clifton's children receive a quality education, Rosie decided to run for Board of Education. Though she came up short in her first run, Rosie was elected to the Clifton Board of Education in 2013.
During her two terms on the Board of Education, Rosie was an effective advocate for our children. She fought tirelessly to ensure the city provided students with a top-notch education while maintaining fiscal responsibility. She helped invest over $8 million in capital improvements and allocated more than $3 million for children's safety, all while ensuring the school budget remained under the 2% tax cap.
In 2018, Rosie felt called to serve in a new capacity. Looking around and seeing how many of her fellow Clifton residents were being left behind and forgotten, she decided to run for Clifton City Council. Rosie energized voters and won, making history as the first minority elected to the Clifton City Council. On the City Council, Rosie has been a staunch advocate for middle and working-class New Jerseyans. She has been a tireless advocate for local small businesses and economic development, providing residents with the opportunity to achieve their own American Dream.
In addition to her work on the Clifton City Council, Rosie is deeply involved in the community through her leadership in several nonprofit organizations. She is the founder of Latino Leaders of Clifton, a civic organization dedicated to empowering and uniting the Latino community. She is also the founder of Team PINO (Providing Individuals New Opportunities), a non-partisan initiative aimed at breaking the cycles of poverty and hopelessness by collaborating with businesses and elected officials to effect real, positive change. She is also the founder and executive director of ECHO (Educated Communities Help Others), a nonprofit dedicated to promoting a culture of learning and opportunity.
In her rare free time, Rosie volunteers with local charitable organizations. A cancer survivor herself, Rosie volunteers with the Red Hat Angels/Relay for Life, supporting cancer research and awareness efforts. She also serves on the board of the Theater League of Clifton and is a PTO President.
Rosie and her husband Eric are blessed with a modern day blended family of 11 beautiful children, two of whom are adopted from the foster care system. They reside in Clifton, where Rosie has lived for over 30 years.
