Friend, so many of you have pitched in and we are so thankful.

However, the donation pace has declined in the last few hours, and we are not sure we are going to be able to close our fundraising gap without a last-minute boost.

Because early voting is coming to an end soon here in central and western New York, we poured everything we had into the texting initiative to turn out voters. We had high hopes that our grassroots movement would pull through for us so we wouldn’t have to make cuts in other areas before Election Day. But if we miss tonight's goal, we might not make up the difference.

We are up against a machine and Trump-enabler John Katko has no problem calling in favors from special interest donors and corporations. In fact, he just got a last-minute boost of $320,000 from a top GOP super PAC.

We depend on small grassroots donors to keep our programs going, and that is why we are once again asking for your support. Will you please donate $24 or more before midnight so that we can fully fund our texting initiative? We're still $4,613 short of our goal.
