Friend,

There was of course some other news made on Tuesday that had the focus of the political world (including us on Team Balter!), but we're emailing now to highlight a major development from our race: Dana was endorsed by U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer.

Senator Schumer joins President Barack Obama, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Congresswoman Katie Porter and many others on Team Dana -- and we couldn’t be more proud!

Senator Schumer and Dana are on the same page when it comes to their values and priorities for New York’s 24th District, including making healthcare affordable and accessible, protecting Social Security, and ensuring the economy works for everyone.

This endorsement is a critical boost of momentum for our grassroots campaign as we work to expand our ad buys this week, and we need to raise another $3,482 by Saturday. Will you help us sustain our momentum by donating $24 (or whatever you can) now?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Senator Schumer has been a tireless advocate for the people of New York, and has delivered countless victories for individuals and families across our state. As the leading sponsor of the Violence Against Women Act and the Brady Bill, he has provided critical leadership on the issues of domestic violence, sexual assault, and gun violence. Dana is truly honored to have his support, and looks forward to partnering with him in Congress to deliver real results and much-needed economic relief for the people of the 24th district.

But first, she'll need her whole grassroots team behind her if she's going to get to Congress. Polling has our race a dead heat, and Republicans are escalating their attacks.

So reaching our mid-month goal by Saturday is important, and we can't do it without you. Please chip in here to help >>

Thank you!

Team Balter
