John,
Since the very beginning of Jamaal's time in Congress, he decided against relying on "call time" to financially support our campaign. Instead, he chose to focus on meeting his constituents' needs, placing his trust in us — the grassroots — to keep our fundraising goals on track.
While many new Representatives choose to spend 20 hours a week or more on the phone, calling wealthy donors to write big checks to their campaigns, Jamaal is spending that extra time hard at work to bring true progressive change to our government systems — and we can see that it's working.
John, it's important that Jamaal can continue to focus 100% of his time on pushing for our agenda in Washington. That's why we're asking for your support once again:
Before Jamaal was elected into office, New York's 16th District had an entrenched, establishment incumbent. But with Jamaal's leadership and determination to continue pushing our progressive agenda, we've seen swift and widespread relief, recovery, and reform come to our communities for the first time in years.
Not having to worry about fundraising or call time will give Jamaal the room to focus on his job entirely and continue fighting for us. But we need our online fundraising — from emails just like this one — to keep pace with our goals.
In solidarity,
Team Bowman
