John,
You're a valuable part of Team Bowman, and you're a critical part of our success as a campaign. I can't thank you enough for the support and love you've extended to Jamaal and our progressive movement.
We have a goal to raise $30,000 over emails like this one by the end of the day on Tuesday. Right now, we’re still 48% away from hitting our goal — and I’m worried that, with the Memorial Day holiday tomorrow, we might not raise enough money in time.
Look. Our campaign right now is in a tough spot — redistricting has cut out a large part of Jamaal's supporter-base in the historically Black Co-op City, they've also removed Jamaal's middle school CASA from the district.
Just a few days ago, another challenger entered the race in an attempt to unseat Jamaal. She dedicated nearly half of her launch announcement to explicitly attacking him and his reputation as a champion for working people.
And last quarter, we fell short of our goal and were significantly outraised by our conservative, establishment opponent. We can’t let this happen again — and with a little help from supporters like you, I know we can catch up in time.
Thanks for being in the fight with us, John.
