John,

I can’t say I was surprised to see Elise Stefanik in Tulsa at Trump’s pathetic rally. She doesn’t care about the crowd size because she was there for an audience of one: Donald Trump. 

She’s hitched her wagon to Trump and has become one of his most vocal defenders. She thinks he’ll take her career to new heights. What’s best for Northern New York doesn’t matter. 

In November, we can hold Elise accountable for her complicity in Trump’s abuses of power. That’s why tonight I’m personally asking for you to contribute $5, $10 or more to my campaign.

Over the weekend, Elise used her moment in the Trump rally spotlight to raise a whopping $150,000. She’s going to use that money to flood our district with attack ads filled with lies, and we know she’ll say anything to get re-elected. We have to fight back.

I wouldn’t be running for Congress if I didn’t know we could win this race. But I can’t do it without your help. Help us hit our $150,000 FEC fundraising goal so we can go toe to toe with Elise all the way to November. Please, pitch in whatever you can.

Thank you for being in this fight with me, 

Tedra
