re: What happened yesterday

  Dear John, When immigrant rights are under attack, what do we do? Stand up, fight back. After being arrested and spending about four hours in federal detention yesterday, I felt very fortunate to go home, sleep in my bed, be with my family, and talk to my lawyer. No charges have …

I just won tonight’s debate

Well, that was fun.   I just stepped off the debate stage, John. Anyone who watched tonight knows I won — just like everyone knows Andrew Cuomo is a serial sexual harasser. Watch me take down Andrew Cuomo after he lied on stage about sexually harassing young women: Tonight, I prove…

  Hey John, We’re just hours away from our final Campaign Finance Board (CFB) deadline before the June 24 primary election, so I wanted to reach out one final time to ask for your support. We’re just a handful of donations away from having enough hard dollars through the door to be …

A sonnet for Andrew Cuomo

  Will Andrew Cuomo lead with heart sincere? Nay; his words profess care for common folk, Yet actions speak where truth does not appear, The funds he takes make honest vows a joke. New York’s great soul, its teachers, nurses, all, Who toil and strive, the city’s vibrant core, Are n…

Our last chance

This team’s energy has been amazing.   John!  Ever since I landed in NYC, I’ve been blown away by the energy small-dollar donors have for Brad. Every house party, every contribution that comes in through ActBlue, every check that arrives at our campaign office via snail mail — it al…

I just stepped off the debate stage
