Hey there, Jackie Gordon asked me to reach out.

My name is Pat Ryan, and I just won a toss-up special election in upstate New York.

Will you split a contribution between me and Jackie Gordon to help defend this seat and protect our Democratic majority?

From the start, pundits doubted I could win a competitive seat during a midterm election year. Republicans spent millions of dollars trying to defeat our campaign.

But against the odds, we WON. And if we can win in this toss-up seat here in upstate New York, we can win on Long Island.

Voters are making it clear, from here in New York to Kansas and everywhere in between: We will not let Republicans take away our most fundamental freedoms and undermine reproductive rights.

Let me be clear: Republicans are going to fight back HARD to win in November. As our campaign continues to the General Election, I’m asking if you can split a contribution between my campaign and Jackie Gordon's.

We’re at a defining moment in our history in which our most fundamental freedoms are under attack.

My Republican opponent this November is a far-right Republican in favor of extreme bans on reproductive access. Republican leadership will work hard to support his campaign, and dark money super PACs will start spending on this race in no time.

In November, freedom and choice are on the ballot, but we won't go back. Together, I know we can win these competitive races and hold onto the House majority.

It’ll take all of us to fend off the GOP’s attacks and keep the House blue. If you’re able, I hope you will split a donation between my campaign and Jackie Gordon’s today.

Thank you again for your support,

Pat Ryan
