Donald Trump's "Secret Police"

ICE agents are now detaining individuals whose immigration cases remain pendingDear John,  Last month, I was arrested at immigration court by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. Normally this wouldn’t be something to shine a light on, but if I’m being honest, it’s one of my pro…

The bright light of day

Thank you, thank you, thank you.   Dear John, Sorry it’s taken me a couple of days, but I wanted to write this one personally, and the hours since Tuesday night have been a whirlwind. Mostly, I want to say: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Thank you to everyone who supported this…

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…

I wanted to reach out one final time

  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 …

This is personal

  This fight is personal to me, John. I love New York City — just as I’m sure you do. My home is here. I raised my kids here and sent them to NYC public schools. And I’ve spent my career working to make this a city where everyone can thrive. For years, I ran housing organizations …

4 reasons why

Your support will have 8 times the impact

  Hey John! It’s Rebecca, Brad’s Deputy Campaign Manager. Ok, so here’s why we’re still emailing you: Our campaign is a little short on hard dollars as we await the Campaign Finance Board (CFB) to disperse matching funds. So we’re continuing to push hard ahead of the next CFB repor…

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…
