Hi friends —

We wanted to provide a quick update on the state of our race.

As a reminder, the New York State Congressional maps were recently thrown out, completely changing the course of this primary. Here’s some new information for you:

The primary date is now scheduled for August 23rd.
On May 16th, the newly drawn maps will be made available to the public.
They won’t be finalized until May 20th, at which time we’ll know exactly what the new NY-3 looks like. We’ll also learn what period of time we have to petition.

We’ll be honest – there’s a lot of uncertainty in our race right now. But despite that, Alessandra is still the strongest and most experienced candidate.

And the reasons Alessandra decided to run for Congress couldn’t be more important given the infuriating news out of Washington. Our country desperately needs stronger Democrats who actually embody the core values of our own party and agenda. Leaders who will fight relentlessly to protect abortion and voting rights, to combat the climate crisis, to expand access to affordable health care, to raise the minimum wage, and so much more.

These issues are supported by a majority of Americans, but we need members of Congress who will actually fight like hell to deliver. This is the type of Representative Alessandra will be, because it’s who she’s been in the State Senate.

We know she has what it takes to win, but the truth is that the changing district lines and the date of our primary being pushed back means that we need to raise even more money than we’d originally projected to organize and win. So please, if you’re able:

Make a contribution of $5 or any amount you can afford to Alessandra Biaggi’s campaign for Congress today. Our race has changed significantly in the past weeks, so we’re counting on your support.

We’ll be in touch soon,
