Friend,

I have a major announcement to make, and I wanted you to be among the first to know: We just added Dana Balter to our Red to Blue program -- our highly competitive list of challenger campaigns that will flip seats from red to blue.

I’ve been keeping close tabs on Dana’s campaign, and I’ve been incredibly impressed with what I’ve seen.

Dana Balter understands the challenges facing Central New Yorkers because she has lived them. Inspired by her brother, Dana has fought for the needs of Americans with disabilities and began her career as a teacher and director of education for a disability services nonprofit. Dana is running a strong, locally focused grassroots campaign and is well-positioned to flip New York’s 24th district and ensure Central New Yorkers have a Representative fighting for them in Congress.

This is a big moment, friend. I’m calling on you to join me in my support of Dana by making a grassroots contribution right now.

Now that Dana is running a Red to Blue race, she is at the center of our efforts to protect and expand our House Majority. This means that the Republican establishment is sure to do (and spend!) whatever it takes to defeat Dana and protect their dangerous status quo and their special interest buddies.

The path to victory in NY-24 runs through grassroots supporters like you, and Dana needs your support in order to win big on Election Day.

I’m asking again: Will you pitch in $10 right now to help flip this seat from red to blue?

As I’ve been known to say -- the best defense is a good offense. Dana Balter is an integral part of our offensive strategy, and I’m grateful for all you do to support her.

Thank you for everything you do,

Cheri Bustos
Chairwoman, DCCC
