Hi, John --
Wanted to make sure you heard: A new public poll of NY-01 voters shows that as the Democratic nominee, our campaign is within just 2 POINTS of my hyper partisan GOP opponent.
Being within striking distance of Lee Zeldin this early in our general election race affirms what we know to be true. As Zeldin continues further to align himself with Trump and the far-right of his Party, he is growing less popular in our community -- and voters are ready to demand a change.
Closing the gap will depend on whether or not we can invest strongly in our paid communications strategy. The sooner we can reach voters with my pro-science message, the better.
Lee Zeldin's far-right special interest donors and Trump allies know I can defeat Zeldin in November. That's why the Trump-aligned super PAC the American Action Network is investing $100,000 in TV ads to prop Zeldin up. July is remarkably early to be launching this sort of ad campaign, and it shows that the GOP is scared for their puppet, Lee.
We can flip this seat, but I need you with me every step of the way. Please help me and my team counter the GOP attacks, get my message in front of voters, and make sure every household in NY-01 knows the truth about Zeldin's Trumpist agenda.
If we can raise $35,000 before tomorrow at midnight, we'll be in a strong position to outwork Lee Zeldin and his donors. But falling short now will allow Zeldin to get further ahead, making it harder for us to win.
You are a crucial element of our team. And with your support today, I know we will hit our goal before tomorrow night.
Thank you for all that you do,
Nancy
