Do you recognize this little girl?

Do you recognize this little girl? Friend, do you recognize this little girl? As a fourth-generation New Yorker, Alessandra knew from a young age that she wanted to serve our state. So after years of work in campaigns and government, she took the plunge…

Our path to victory

Friends, it's Chris, Alessandra's campaign manager. Because this is such a crowded primary, voters often ask me — and our team — why Alessandra is the best Democratic candidate in this race, and what her path to victory looks like. So I wanted to take some time to sketch that out for you …

Friends, tomorrow is Alessandra's mid-month deadline, and we are hoping that you can chip in today to help us hit it! The truth is that we are falling behind on our $15,000 goal for the first Federal Election Commission deadline of the year, and this campaign. As you know, NY-3 spans muc…

A difficult decision

Friends, It’s Chris, Alessandra’s campaign manager. I made a very difficult decision yesterday during our team's budget meeting. I approved a $10,000 expenditure where we’d only budgeted $5,000. The primary for NY-3 is heating up, and it’s become clear that in order to keep organizing a…

A note about reproductive health legislation failing in the Senate.

Friend — On Monday, Senate Republicans blocked a vote on the Women’s Health Protection Act, legislation that, if passed, would have codified Roe v. Wade at the federal level. Let’s be clear: abortion is healthcare, and the right to an abortion is under attack. In recent months, we’ve s…

The only way we can win

Hi friend — Alessandra is running for Congress because too many Democrats are comfortable with upholding the status quo rather than finding solutions for working Americans. But going up against the establishment means angering a lot of people, including right-wing Republicans like Curti…

Red states are already rolling back abortion rights.

Did you see this, friend? Right-wing legislators are already working to dismantle abortion rights all across the country in advance of the Supreme Court ruling on Roe v. Wade. That’s because they know the conservative-majority Court will likely overturn Roe. This is a disaster for repr…
