Hey John, it’s Cait Conley. It’s late so I’ll be brief.

Our first debate with Mike Lawler just wrapped up. If you were able to watch, I hope I made you proud by holding him accountable and showing what we are fighting for! Tonight, more than ever, I am confident that we will beat Mike Lawler in November.

I’m respectfully asking you to chip in $10 to my campaign to help me flip NY-17. This race is neck-and-neck, so any amount makes a major difference.

He has voted with Trump 100% of the time—from the tariffs to the war to the One Big Ugly Bill, and Hudson Valley families deserve better.

Independent polling shows we have a clear shot at winning this race. But in 2022, Mike Lawler won his first election by less than 2000 votes. We are dealing with the slimmest of margins in this district, so we cannot afford to take a breather for a moment.

In just two days, we have our final quarterly FEC deadline. Before that deadline, my team needs to raise another $100,000 online.

This number wasn’t pulled out of thin air. It’s exactly what we’ve budgeted for in order to afford the TV ads, staff costs, and volunteer materials that we need to win this race. We have to raise this money if we want to win.

NY-17 is going to be the most competitive and expensive House race in the country. There are no paths for Democrats to take back the House without winning here.

So tonight I’m asking, very respectfully:

Can I count on you to chip in $10, or even $17? Our average donation is around $40. Some people give more, some people give less. All that matters is that you’re throwing in and being a part of this team. Thank you.

With gratitude and fire,
Cait Conley
