As a single mom, I was a masterclass in balancing working full time and raising a family on my own. My kids and I were known for running from soccer to basketball to field hockey to lacrosse practice and still making time for church on Sundays.

And when I was deployed, my community showed up for my family.

When game day came around for soccer or basketball or field hockey or lacrosse, while I was overseas, my children still had cheerleaders in the stands. When my deployment orders gave us only days to prepare before I was sent to Guantanamo Bay, I knew I could depend on my community to come together and protect my children while I protected our country.

My children, my family, my community - they know how to leave it all on the field.

That’s what I’ve always done as a Military Police Officer, as a teacher, as a Councilwoman, and as a mom. And that’s what I’ll do for New York in Congress, but I can’t get there without your help. Everything we do in these final moments makes a tremendous impact, and our top priority is ensuring every single Long Islander’s voice is heard and every vote is counted.

We only have 2 days left for my campaign to make an impact and leave it all on the field for New York, and we’re counting on you, team. Please, if you can, chip in $10 today ahead of Election Day →

Take care and walk good,

Jackie Gordon
