Friend,
I’m proud of the movement Nydia’s been able to build. No one works harder for the people of New York, and she makes that clear day in and day out. Her choice to reject corporate PAC money was a bold one, but to her it was the only way forward. I hope you had a chance to read the email she sent, but if not, go ahead and scroll down and give it a look.
We’re ready to put up a fight for our democracy in 2020, but to make that possible we need your support. If you agree with Nydia that it’s time to push back against the influence of dark money in our politics, will you chip in $20.20 and prove that we have the grassroots power to make a difference?
Best,
Fernando

Friend,
Seven months ago, I took a huge risk. I decided to rely entirely on a people-powered movement, rather than accept one more dime of corporate PAC money. I’m proud that, as your representative, I’ve always voted with the best interests of New Yorkers in mind. And I wanted to make that crystal clear by ensuring that every dollar that goes towards re-election comes from the people, not big money corporate PACs.
Seven months later, I’m convinced: It’s the best decision I ever made.
Your support has been overwhelming. We are stronger than ever, and that is entirely due to your support. That’s why I’m reaching out and asking you to help us keep this momentum going. Can I count on you to chip in today so I can continue standing up to special interests and dark money donors?

For too long, large corporations have had enormous influence over our elections. It’s time to change that. I’m joining leaders across the country in standing up to the corporate donors who want to trample the will of the voters. Will you chip in $100, $50, or $25 today to show that you’re in this fight with me?
Help me make sure that voters are the only ones with a voice in our elections.
