Friend, we told you yesterday that The Cook Political Report had upgraded Dana's chances of winning NY-24 -- and that this news would spur the GOP to act quickly.

Today, John Katko has gone up with his first television ads of the general election.

We need to respond quickly -- and making our grassroots goal by tomorrow night is even more important now. Can you help us raise the remaining $2,105? We need at least 31 more donations tonight to stay on pace.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

John Katko is up on the air this early because he knows that his endorsement of Donald Trump is tacit approval of extremism, bigotry, misogyny, and lawlessness that goes directly against the values of the people in our district.

John Katko knows that his vote for the GOP tax scam paved the way for the Trump administration's court challenge to the Affordable Care Act -- and that his constituents are fed up with the attacks on our healthcare.

John Katko knows that Dana's story as a teacher and advocate for families who need a voice is resonating with voters. He knows voters are tired of Trump enablers and are ready for a strong, progressive champion in Congress.

John Katko knows that the only way he can move past his failed record and beat Dana is by spending massive amounts on misleading ads from now until Election Day.

Dana believes that democracy is not for sale -- and that our people-powered grassroots campaign has what it takes to compete with Katko's giant corporate PAC-funded war chest of over $1 million.

Supporters like you have gotten her this far. We know that together, we can fight back against John Katko's first wave of ads and elevate Dana's voice.

So please, donate whatever you can to help us meet tomorrow's goal.

Thank you,

Team Balter
