We need to elect better Democrats.

John, 2020 is going to be an extremely busy year for turning and keeping seats blue. It’s not enough to elect Democrats -- we cannot afford to have the same kinds of Democrats who have voted for endless war, deregulating Wall S…

Can we do it again?

John, A few days ago, we had one of the best fundraising days of the quarter—we raised almost $10,000 in one day. This means more money to get the volunteers the supplies they need, pay our hardworking staff, and tell folks abo…

We need a New Deal for Education, NOW.

John, Our children are our future. Yet, our divided education system is leaving children of color and children from working class backgrounds behind. Because we are not prioritizing our students, we are missing out on potential…

The Trump administration's cruelty is on full display.

No American should ever worry about not having access to food. John, We are in the midst of a national moral crisis. Our current leaders take from our poorest and most vulnerable communities to pad the pockets of the wealthy, an…

December is crucial.

John, I can't believe we're already in December. These last few months have flown by—talking to voters and telling them about our plan for NY-16 and America has been an honor.    But, the truth is: these last few months have be…

Can you commit $10 a month?

[10.5 HOURS LEFT] So close.

[LESS THAN 36 HOURS] 63 Donations Away

[DOORBUSTER DEALS] Just $27!

Let's be honest, John -- you are getting a ton of e-spam today. Emails! Facebook ads! Commercials! So I am going to keep this really short: we aren't going to hit our goal at this rate. We need to raise $2,653 more by midnight …
