John – Did you see my Syracuse Post-Standard op-ed?

Over a year after Jan. 6, 2021, our democracy remains imperiled.

Our country is being torn apart at the seams by extremists who are more interested in peddling far-right conspiracy theories and sowing division for partisan gain than bringing people together to solve problems for the common good.

If we want to do the hard work of solving common challenges with a shared purpose, we first must strengthen our democracy and restore faith in it – and in each other. Will you pitch in $5, $10, or more to join this campaign to defend our democracy and protect our fragile House majority?

It will be a long road to achieving a government that is truly by and for the people. But here are a few steps I outlined in my op-ed to get us started:

• First, we must update the Electoral Count Act to make it crystal clear that voters decide elections, not politicians.
• Second, we must make it easier to vote, not harder.
• Third, we need to get dark money out of politics.
• Finally, we must end partisan gerrymandering.

Our political system is broken, but we can fix it, and that’s one of the reasons why I’m not accepting a dime from corporate PACs, instead relying on grassroots support from people like you. So, John, will you make a contribution to our campaign today?

Together, we can do the hard work to lift each other up and make sure everyone’s voice is heard.

With gratitude,

Josh Riley
