Hi John,

When I ran to represent New York's 2nd Congressional District in 2020, I knew it was going to be a tough race.

See, I was a little different than the other candidates. I'm a Jamaican immigrant and an Army veteran who ran as a Democrat in a swing district that Trump carried by 9 points. And if I won, I would've become the first Black woman ever elected to Congress from a New York district outside of New York City.

I knew that it wouldn't be easy, but I persisted because I wanted to make a real difference for folks like you and me who are left behind by our government all too often.

But ultimately, what derailed my campaign was far more sinister: ruthless Republican attack ads.

The GOP was threatened by my campaign's momentum and our plan to empower working families, so they smeared my years of military service on the airwaves in a disgraceful attempt to undermine my campaign.

And unfortunately, it worked.

That's why I'm proud to serve on the advisory board of Shield PAC – a new effort to define and defend House moderates from the lies the GOP used against me in 2020. If you can, please donate to support their mission today >> [link removed]

Shield PAC is dedicated to helping swing-seat Democrats navigate all the vile and false attacks the GOP throws at them -- using powerful, targeted ads to call out the lies and give voters the real story.

Organizations like Shield PAC are crucial to protecting our razor-thin Democratic majority in the House next year. I'm thrilled to serve on their advisory board and protect the next slate of Democratic candidates running in battleground districts.

So please, chip in any amount that works for you to help defend our majority today — so our democracy can keep working for all people tomorrow.

Sincerely,

Jackie Gordon
