Friend,

Pete Buttigieg here. I wanted to reach out this evening to remind you just how important this upcoming election is. The failure of Donald Trump is becoming more glaring and devastating by the day, which is why November will be a defining moment for our nation.

The truth is that Donald Trump could not have caused all of this destruction on his own. He has been supported and endorsed by Republicans up and down the ticket -- which is why we need to reimagine leadership across our nation, including right here in New York.

That is why I am so proud to support Dana Balter for Congress. Dana understands the struggles that many of us face when it comes to affording health care, living paycheck to paycheck, and fighting so that everyday Americans have a voice in the democratic process. Most importantly, she believes that everyone deserves a fair shot at success.

Dana is counting on grassroots supporters to get to Congress. Will you please chip in $5 before her September 30 end-of-quarter deadline?

This November will be about more than the presidency, it will be about restoring credibility and trust. Yet, Dana’s opponent, Representative John Katko, has positioned himself as an avid supporter of Donald Trump, going as far as endorsing him for re-election. For the sake of the world and our nation, we cannot afford four more years of Trump’s America.

Meanwhile, Dana has been a lifelong advocate with and for those who need support. After growing up and standing side-by-side with her brother, who has cognitive disabilities, Dana went on to help hundreds of people access support and services while working at a disability services nonprofit. This is just one example of the work she’s done to put people first and be a voice for others.

This race is going to be close. Dana has run an incredibly strong campaign and has proven herself as a force to be reckoned with. The polls show that it is a toss-up, which is why it is so important that we rally behind her.

It's critical that she makes her end-of-quarter deadline. Please join me in supporting her, and chip in $5 or more today if you can.

All my best,

Pete Buttigieg
