John,

I know we reached out to you yesterday about Elise Stefanik’s enormous $1 million haul for the GOP from an upcoming event with Trump, so I’ll get right to it: we need your support to have any hope of measuring up to what we’re sure she’ll bring in. Will you please chip in today?

I won’t lie, I’m anxious about how much Stefanik is raising thanks to her devotion to Trump and the big donors who surround him. But, in traveling around our district in recent weeks, I’ve heard resounding disappointment with the job Stefanik has done representing us in Congress.

The North Country deserves far better. I’m the only candidate from either party running in this race who grew up in and attended the public schools in this community, and who has lived here longer than anywhere else. I know this place better than any other, and the spirit of support I’ve experienced is fueling my run for Congress.

Please, contribute to our efforts to restore honorable and devoted leadership to Upstate New York today. I’m counting on you.

Thank you for your support,

Matt
