John, it's Brad reaching out. Today marks the 1-month anniversary of our campaign launch. 

And man, it's been one hell of a month. At the national level, Trump has taken us down an ever-darker path of war in Venezuela, ICE violence, and rampant corruption. At the local level, Zohran’s inauguration and first week – especially the big announcement he and Governor Hochul made about the path to universal child care – have reminded us of the possibility of democracy to make our lives in common better. 

Meanwhile: our campaign came out firing on all cylinders, making national news as we forge a new path forward where we fight, not fold. Where we build something hopeful, that wins, and actually delivers. 

But don't take my word for it. Before I ask you to chip in and help us win this seat, check out the progressive leaders who have already thrown their weight behind our campaign. ⬇️

We have national leaders like Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, bastions of progressive politics for decades.

We have city-wide leaders like Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams who are bringing the change we need to see to our city. 

We have state and local leaders as well, with state legislators like Bobby Carroll and Andrew Gounardes, and City Councilmembers like Alexa Avilés, Shahana Hanif, Crystal Hudson, and Lincoln Restler.

We have powerful organizing groups like the UAW Region 9A and the Working Families Party, who lead the fight for policy that works for working folks. 

And of course, most important of all, we have you. 

To the thousands of you who have chipped in to our campaign in this first month, to the hundreds who have attended events or signed up to organize (hope to see many of you at the No Wars, No Kings, No ICE march tomorrow), and the countless more who have interacted with us on social media or shared a news article about our campaign. 

John, this campaign is about building power together, and it's through your voice that we'll send a message nationally that we don't need another millionaire in Congress — we need someone that's ready to fight, not fold. Who knows we must stand up together against rapidly advancing fascism – and then make government actually deliver on its promises for working families.  

As we put our first month in the rearview mirror, our campaign is all systems go. If we want to maintain the momentum of our strong start, it's going to take everyone's help. So today, I have a simple request: can you chip in $10 on 1/10 in honor of our first month of campaigning here in NY-10? 

In solidarity, 
Brad
