I wanted to share the official news with you personally:
The truth is that the road to keeping this seat blue isn’t going to be easy. During the 2022 midterms here in New York, Republicans won more races across the state than they have in two decades -- enough to deliver the House majority back to the GOP. Now, they’re using that momentum to target this seat as a pickup opportunity in 2024 so that they can retake the Senate, too.
But I’ve never backed down from a challenge. My very first race for Congress was in a Republican district where people said that there were “more cows than Democrats.” I still ran, and we won. That’s because I had grassroots supporters like you by my side from the very beginning, making the early investments that are key to building a winning campaign.
So that’s what I’m asking of you today. With so much at stake, I’m counting on you to step up and become a Founding Donor today to help make sure I have the resources it will take to defend New York’s Senate seat and our Democratic majority.
I’ve taken on some tough fights in the Senate: Securing health care for the 9/11 first responders. Repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Making sure Americans got paid family and medical leave during the pandemic.
But there are so many critical fights ahead -- for voting rights, for reproductive freedom, for health care, for a permanent paid leave program. And I won’t let up until the fights are won. I promise you that.
Thank you,
Kirsten
