Hey John,

Last night, the NY Post put out a hit piece on my candidacy and our campaign - essentially trying to shame me for openly admitting to my life experiences such as struggling with student debt, having an abortion, working as a stripper, and surviving sexual assault.

They also tried to blast our campaign for offering policing alternatives in a district like PA-03 which has a long and storied history with police brutality. Based on the tone of the entire article, compassion is a stranger to right wing media whereas misogyny appears to be their best friend. But ultimately, this article wound up being a swing and a miss.

The most striking thing of all is that interwoven into this article about my life experiences and platform was our campaign's various merchandise items. This "hit piece" quickly became a walking ad for our merchandise. We've now sold over $30,000 in merchandise with close to 400 "Elect Hoes" sweatshirts (our best selling item). On top of that, support has been pouring in from other outlets - we've raised over $20,000 on ActBlue, have 1,000 new donors, signed up a bunch of new volunteers, and have in district voters reaching out to say they have our campaign's back. Our social media accounts have been swelling - Twitter has doubled by ten thousand new followers and Instagram and TikTok have increased by the thousands.

If you would like to support our rapidly growing campaign, we need your support now more than ever. Please give whatever you can to help us fend off these right wing attacks and take the fight back to them. They are almost never isolated and are typically coordinated, so we are bracing for more.
