John,

When I was growing up, my grandparents instilled in me an appreciation for the Square Deal—the simple promise that if you work hard and play by the rules, you could earn a spot in the Middle Class.

But that promise has been broken by a culture of greed on Wall Street, a culture of corruption in Congress, and career politicians who are more interested in lining their own pockets than serving the needs of their constituents.

I’m running for Congress, as a new voice, because I believe working families deserve a fair shot at the Middle Class. Will you consider chipping in $22 today so we can win NY-22 in 2022?

I’m not a politician. This is my first time running for office, and I’m doing it because I believe the purpose of public service is to improve the lives of others, not to enrich oneself--and we have a lot of work to do, together.

I’m not accepting a dime from corporate PACs. I can’t be bought, and I won’t answer to special interests or dark money donors. I’ll work every single day to right by the hard-working people of Upstate New York—people who deserve better than what they’re getting out of their representation today.

If you’re able, please contribute $22 to help us build a winning campaign. I rely on grassroots support, and every dollar counts →

Together, we can win this seat.

With gratitude today and always,

Josh Riley
