I just learned that I am the only candidate in this race who has pledged to refuse all corporate PAC money. I'm proud to be running a campaign by and for the people of this district, but it does mean I must rely even more on grassroots donations.
As we approach our first end-of-quarter deadline of 2022 in less than a week, your support is more critical than ever.
This deadline is our last end-of-quarter filing before the primary election. Whatever we publicly report is going to show who has the momentum — and the grassroots support to flip this district from red to blue.
Money in politics is exactly why we still don't have universal background checks in this country. It's why our seniors are still getting gouged on prescription drug costs. We have to raise money to compete and win in competitive races like ours, but we do NOT have to compromise our values along the way.
I'm always going to put the right thing ahead of the easy thing. Whether it's my record of taking on the NRA and the petrochemical industry, or now, as the only candidate refusing to take corporate money, I will always put the people first. You can be certain that no one is buying my vote.
Kara Hahn is a lifelong Long Islander, social worker, county legislator, and candidate for Congress in NY-01. This open seat is a must win for Democrats to defend our majority in the House and continue driving progress in America, but we can't do it without your help. Make a recurring donation to sustain our movement for the long haul and send Kara to Congress!
