John,

New York is going to be an important battleground state next year, and Republicans are well aware. Here’s what they’ve been up to:

🎯 They named me a top target. I’m one of the most vulnerable Democrats in Congress right now, so they’re already laying the groundwork to defeat me.

💰 They’ve reported record-breaking fundraising hauls. This was the most expensive House race in the country last year, and they’re ready to spend even more in 2026.

🗳️ Elise Stefanik, who’s now running for governor, has pledged to “ensure Republican victories up and down the ballot in New York,” and my seat will be one of their biggest targets.

Republicans know that the path to the House majority depends on toss-up seats like mine, so we need to be ready for whatever attacks come our way next. Will you chip in today to help us prepare?

With gratitude & high hopes,

Josh
