John – I penned an article for syracuse.com about the role that dark money plays in our politics and how it is impacting this race. You can check it out here. At the most recent Democratic candidate forum in Utica, the moderator asked me what the most immediate issue is for when I get to Congress. I answered without hesitation, campaign finance reform. When dark money groups and billionaire-funded super PACs are allowed to give enormous amounts of money to candidates to help them win races, it weakens the voice of the people, endangers our democracy, and opens the door to serious corruption. The only way to restore our faith in democracy and solve the systemic issues we face is to rebuild an even playing field. In this race in NY-22, crypto billionaires have spent $400,000 in support of my opponent, Francis Conole. That has a very real impact and tips the scale against the people of New York. Billionaires think they can buy this seat in Congress. I need you now, in these last hours before the primary, to show them that they cannot.
