The polls are open!

Friend -- the polls are officially open! The day we have worked so hard for is finally here: Election Day! If you have not already voted, make sure that you have a plan to vote today. The next step is to help us reach every last voter and make sure they also have a plan to vote for Dana Balter…

Democracy isn't just for the select few

Friend, Before I launched my first congressional campaign in 2017, I sought advice from experienced operatives and organizations. They told me I couldn't run for office -- because I couldn't raise a million dollars from my personal contacts. But I believed in the power of grassroots organizing…

As the clock ticks down...

Friend, Tomorrow night, when the polls close in NY-24, we don't want to be waiting for results while wondering if we could have done more. As the clock ticks down to this historic election, we still have time to reach tens of thousands of voters. In a race as close as ours, where the result ma…

Special interests are scared of Dana

Friend, I'm proudly supporting Dana Balter for Congress in New York's 24th District -- and she needs strong grassroots support to get past the finish line in 2 days. Polls have her in a dead heat with pro-Trump Republican John Katko, and corporate special interests are scared. So they've dumped o…

$5 would help us hit our goal

Friend, I know it’s getting late, but I just got off the phone with my Campaign Manager, Brexton, and he informed me that we are just $2,094 shy of our early voting fundraising goal. This election is going to be extremely close. Polls have us tied with John Katko -- and these last fundraising …

Bad news

Friend, so many of you have pitched in and we are so thankful. However, the donation pace has declined in the last few hours, and we are not sure we are going to be able to close our fundraising gap without a last-minute boost. Because early voting is coming to an end soon here in central and …

Re: PAC spending $320K to help John Katko

Friend, I'm making sure you saw last night's critical update. With dark money groups coming in to aid John Katko with false ads attacking Dana, we are going to be outspent in the final days of this race. That means we must increase our grassroots voter outreach programs to fight back. The earl…

Friend, here's the reality: If we fail to meet tomorrow's fundraising goal, we'll have to make drastic cuts to our early vote texting initiative. Our race is too close to call, and missing any opportunity to reach voters in these final days is a real setback. We are still $11,648 short of o…

Early Vote Initiative
