John,
1,040 hours a year. 20 hours a week. 4 hours a day. That is the suggested amount of time that new Representatives spend on the phone, reaching out to wealthy donors to write big checks to their campaigns.
The process of "call time" is as exhausting as it sounds, and many Representatives find it a misuse of invaluable time that could be spent legislating and working on behalf of constituents.
Jamaal didn't join our massive movement for bold and progressive change to spend 20 hours a week on the phone to fundraise for his campaign — he joined this movement to bring the voices of the people to Congress and help create long-lasting change in our communities.
For too long, the future of New York's 16th District has been left to the will of entrenched, establishment incumbents who've prioritized profits and big money PACs over the needs of the people. But for the first time since 2018, we have the chance to completely transform our government systems and build a community that works for everyone.
As the newly appointed Vice Chair of the House Committee on Education & Labor, and a full schedule of researching issues, legislating, and advocating for our bold and progressive movement, Jamaal can't afford to lose out on time.
John, Jamaal doesn't accept a single penny from corporate PACs, and lobbyists, because he believes in the power of people just like you. Our movement is powered by supporters like you chipping in whatever you can to emails just like this one.
In solidarity,
Bowman For Congress
