Hi John, it’s Josh Riley.

I’m sure you’ve been hearing from a lot of campaigns about the next FEC filing deadline. So, before I ask you to donate and help us reach our $50,000 goal, here are 5 reasons why our team is counting on your support:

1. This was the most expensive House race last year. Over $40 million was spent right here in our district – more than any other House race in the entire country.


2. We’re getting ready for another tough fight. Experts have rated us one of the most competitive races in the country heading into 2026, and I’m one of the most vulnerable incumbent Democrats in Congress.


3. I’m a top target for Republicans. National Republicans have added me to their list of top targets and are running ads attacking me. Potential challengers also already have their eye on my seat.


4. We can’t take back the House without NY-19. If we don’t win again in NY-19 and hold toss-up seats like mine, we’ll have no chance at taking back the House next November.


5. This is our next test. After this deadline, our fundraising numbers will be publicly available, and everyone will be looking at us closely to see if we have what it takes to keep this seat blue.

John, now that you know more about why we’re counting on your support, will you contribute $5 to help us reach our goal in these final 5 days?
