Hi, John, it’s Martha Robertson. Every election is so important. But more is on the line this year than ever before!!! Abortion rights, gun safety, the climate, our very democracy itself. It’s a LOT.

I ran for Congress in 2014 against Tom Reed to fight for Upstate New Yorkers and build a stronger middle class by bringing jobs and economic development back to our community.

Now, I’m reaching out on behalf of my friend Josh Riley. He is a true advocate for our community - and the person most likely to win in November and fight for our values and concerns in Congress.

Look, running for Congress is not easy. Trust me, I know.

…especially when you’re up against special interest groups and corporate PACs like Josh is in his race. I know these fundraising emails aren’t fun, but with such incredibly high stakes, our grassroots supporters - like you - are absolutely critical.

John, when so very much is on the line in this election, do you want to wonder, the day after, whether you could have done more to help Josh win?? Do you want to wonder, if only…?

Our kids and grandkids need us to hold our Democratic House Majority - to codify Roe into law, pass real gun safety laws, invest in a green future, and protect the vote. It’s all on the line.

If everyone reading this email pitched in $5 before closing their inbox, Josh’s team would meet their end-of-quarter goal in no time. So, will you chip in a few dollars now and help Josh get over the finish line before the June 30th deadline?

Let’s send Josh to Congress to make the change that we so desperately need!

Thanks for everything you’re doing,

Martha Robertson
