John,

Last week, our first opponent jumped into the race, and he started his campaign with a lie.

For years, career politicians have sold us out to the highest bidder, and that’s exactly what Republican Peter Oberacker is running to do again. He’s just another Albany politician who takes money from the same special interests that continue screwing over Upstate New Yorkers.

But Upstate New York isn’t for sale — not now, not ever.

That’s why we won here last November, and why we did it while running a completely grassroots campaign. Now, I need your help to fend off our first challenger and do it again.

If you’re with me, will you please chip in $10 or whatever you can today to support our grassroots team and help us hold this seat?
