I grew up in a working class family in Schenectady — my parents worked for General Electric back when GE had a major presence in upstate New York.

I cut coupons, put clothes on layaway, and was a classic latchkey kid. I watched my parents work us up into the middle class, and I actually believed that I had a better than 50/50 chance of having a better life than they did.

That story of upward mobility is essential to any growing sense of confidence in democracy: The idea of equal opportunity for all.

But since my generation, the folks coming up behind us don’t believe that story anymore. They know that they are going to be worse off than our parents' generation.

Right now the average first-time homeowner age is around 40.

20 years ago, it was 28.

The average rent right now is 7x income!

30-40 years ago, it was 3x.

So even just the price of admission into opportunity is too high for young Americans to engage. They are being priced out of New York and our entire democracy.

And the Democratic establishment has no clear vision to solve this. The status quo is broken — I’m running to be the next governor of New York to provide real transformative change for our state.

Our campaign doesn’t take a cent of corporate PAC money. So when you see me out there on the campaign trail, fighting for higher wages, universal health care, and affordable housing — you know I’m doing it because I’m accountable to you.

I'm proud of the way we’re running this campaign. But it means that we rely on the responses to emails like this one to power our work. The only way we can take on the establishment status quo is together.

If you can afford to make an $ or even $ contribution to my campaign, I’m respectfully asking you to donate today. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your generous support. [[link removed]]
