John,

It's already been three and a half months since we launched our movement to flip New York's 1st District -- time sure does fly.

Running for Congress is everything I thought it'd be -- the fun parts and the tough parts. Meeting voters, hearing their stories and hopes for the future reminds me of how important this work is.

I'm ready to be a voice for tens of thousands of Long Islanders who've been left behind by Washington Republicans. We can take this seat back from people who'd rather play partisan games than drive a positive change in our lives.

But building a campaign capable of delivering the change we need isn't easy. It demands our undivided attention, our energy day in and day out, and until we win federal campaign finance reform: grassroots fundraising.

I'm reaching out to ask for your help, so we can win that change together. If you can, chip in just $5 to make an impact in a pivotal moment for our movement.

Thanks for taking the time to hear from me and take care.

Kara Hahn
