John --
When we first launched our campaign yesterday, I honestly wasn't sure what to expect.
I knew people would eventually rally to take this seat back from Lee Zeldin -- there's too much at stake not to -- but I didn't expect it would happen so quickly.
Moments after we launched, Susan, an entrepreneur from Port Jefferson chipped in $50. Seconds later, Andrew, a teacher from Centereach added $50 more. $25 from Ruth in Stony Brook, $25 more from Jack in Setauket. Incredible.
So many folks have come together and chipped in a bit of their hard-earned money to give this campaign a strong start. Our campaign is by the people and for the people -- we wouldn't want it any other way.
But we need to continue building on this momentum. You can bet that Washington Republicans are going to spend millions on falsehoods and outright lies to keep this battleground seat as they seek to take back the majority in the House.
If you're with me to win this seat for working people, please join Susan, Andrew, Ruth, and Jack by making a donation of $5 or more right now.

Hey there --
I'm Kara Hahn, a proud Democrat born and raised right here in Suffolk County. After nearly a decade representing this community in the County Legislature, I'm announcing my candidacy for Congress in New York's 1st Congressional District.
As the daughter of a teacher and volunteer firefighter, I learned early what it means to show up for your community. It's this example that led me to pursue a career in social work, and to then take on local issues as a Suffolk County Legislator. And now, it's what's driving me to step up in this moment and ensure we have strong representation in Congress.
For too long, Long Islanders have been held back without supportive leadership in Congress. Under the tenure of Lee Zeldin, our kids can't afford a home in the neighborhood where they grew up, we've struggled to afford the cost of health care and prescription medication, and we've been dragged into repeated partisan grudge matches that in no way reflect the values of our communities.
That's why I'm running: it's time we have solutions-oriented leadership working to secure the support and relief we need to thrive.
But we can't achieve progress without your help, friend -- will you become a founding donor to my campaign and get us started off on the right foot?

The last thing Long Islanders need is another self-promoting, hot-head playing politics with our vote in Congress. I care about this community -- and I care deeply about its people. I want to roll up my sleeves and do the hard work to solve the problems we are facing.
We can have so much better than this tired old status quo that consistently leaves working families behind -- we are in this together and our first step forward is taking this district back for our communities.
With Zeldin vacating this seat, we have an unparalleled opportunity to win progress for families and working people. To improve our schools and reduce the cost of our health care. To protect our environment and create good-paying jobs.
Like many Long Islanders, I've never backed down from the challenges life throws at you, and this campaign will be no exception. I'm committed to doing everything I can to build a strong campaign, but I'm going to need your help.
If you're ready for change on Long Island, chip in $5 or more now to get this movement jump-started. We're running a people-powered campaign with folks like you chipping in what they can when they can.

Thank you so much, friend. I'm excited to embark on this quest for change together.
