We need to keep this up

I was looking at the rest of the week's fundraising and noticed our downward trajectory. John, Earlier last week, we had our best fundraising day since we started this campaign, raising over $100,000 in just one day. But I was just looking at the rest of the week's fundraisin…

AOC, Sunrise Movement, and John

We need your voice, John

With just 18 days left until the election, we need your voice. Hi John, Over this past week, our campaign has seen a surge of interest. This weekend, we need your voice and time to help reach newer supporters in-district, along with those who may still not know who Jamaal is. …

My latest ally

Hi John, Good news has been harder to come by lately, so I wanted to personally reach out and share this with you: late last night, I received an endorsement from Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in NY-14! I am so grateful for AOC's support, John — and, with just 19 d…

Re: Just a few hours left...

"If I didn't have a primary, I wouldn't care."

Many of the voters we've talked to in NY-16 use the word "absent" to describe Eliot Engel. But after today, another word comes to mind when describing him: "disappointment." John, After nearly three months of hiding in his second home in Maryland, Eliot Engel finally made his w…

Time's running out to make a decision:

John, In just 22 days, the voters of New York's 16th District will make their choice on who they want representing them in Congress. Jamaal Bowman is the most competitive primary challenge that Eliot Engel has seen in twenty years. The field is growing smaller, and our movemen…

I'm concerned, John

We're still short $5,000 of where we need to be. John, I'm concerned we're not going to reach our $30,000 fundraising goal by midnight. We're 23 days away from the primary election, with so much at stake — yet we're still more than $5,000 short of where we need to be. We need …
