Good morning.

We are reaching out to ask you to donate to Antonio Delgado’s campaign for governor of New York.

As you read this, our team is advocating for a New York where housing is affordable and healthcare is universal.

But at the same time, our fundraising numbers have taken a bit of a dive. Both in terms of the number of people donating and our average donation. It’s pretty noticeable in ActBlue:

That’s why we’re reaching out. Antonio is committed to making sure our campaign is accountable to the PEOPLE of New York — not the corporations.

So we don’t take a dime of corporate PAC money. And we’re the only statewide campaign in New York relying on public matching funds to give us the resources we need to be competitive.

We rely on individual, small-dollar donations to fund our operations. And thanks to these matching funds, all contributions are matched 6-to-1! That means your $10 donation makes a $70 impact.

It’s the right way to run a campaign. But it means we do need to reach out with emails like this one — especially now, when our fundraising has been slow.

Please. We’re respectfully asking:

If building a more affordable New York is worth $10 to you, please make a contribution to Antonio’s campaign for governor. Anything you can chip in helps put us back on track to meet our monthly fundraising goal.

Thank you for your generous support. We promise to keep you updated on our progress.

– Team Delgado
