Antonio here. I’ll keep this brief.

I wanted to reach out and say, directly and sincerely: thank you.

When I told you we were up against a tough end-of-month deadline — a real test of our ability to take on the Albany establishment — YOU STEPPED UP.

I've always said that real change doesn’t come from the top down. It comes from helping people realize their own power.

Because of you, we are building a campaign to bypass the political machine and fight for the things that actually matter to working families: affordable housing, healthcare, and a fair shot at the middle class.

Thank you for believing that we can build a New York based on compassion, over special interests. This campaign is about breaking a status quo that has left too many behind.

You showed me that you believe in this vision. You sent a message to the entrenched powers that be: New Yorkers are ready for leadership that listens.

I am more confident than ever that we will turn the page on the politics of the past and build a future we can all be proud of.

With gratitude and love,
Antonio
