John,
You hear from us that our campaign is 100% grassroots-funded, but let us explain exactly what that means.
Campaigns are expensive, and in the House of Representatives, winning reelection every 2 years means we always have to keep our foot on the gas. Other candidates — including many other Democrats — are able to pay for all of that through taking money from corporate PACs. They even spend most of their time calling up wealthy donors to ask for big checks to keep things running.
That's not Jamaal. Since day one, we've built a people-powered movement to win progressive representation for the communities of NY-16. Texts and emails like this one are an important way that Jamaal makes sure that he's accountable to you — the people — not big corporate PACs.
So, if you are able to, can you make a contribution today so Jamaal can keep advocating for our community in the halls of Congress? Even $5 helps our people-powered movement remain strong.
We've got just a short time before the first FEC fundraising deadline of 2023, and every contribution counts right now. Trust us when we tell you 100% of what we raise from these emails goes to doing what we need to to keep Jamaal in Congress, fighting for us.
Thank you for your support — and if you can't chip in today, we appreciate you staying on our email list and being part of our team.
In solidarity,
Team Bowman
