we’re a bit behind

If each of you gave just $10 to defeat Elise Stefanik today, we’ll be back on track.   Hey John, It’s Jarid, Matt’s finance director. I just checked our fundraising totals for December. Unfortunately, contributions have slowed dramatically over the holidays — it couldn’t come a…

Let’s defeat Elise Stefanik →

Elise Stefanik represents a formidable threat to our democracy.   John, In just a few days, we’ll reach the end of December. It’s a big month for us because the final FEC fundraising deadline of 2021 is December 31. Once we close the books on 2021, our fundraising numbers go pu…

humbly asking...

We need a strong final fundraising push as we close the books on 2021.   John, I know you’re probably busy squeezing in last-minute holiday shopping, so I’ll only ask to borrow a minute of your time. We’re 10 days away from the FEC’s final fundraising deadline of the year – per…

Stefanik and Trump are bringing in tons

Moments like these are a sobering reminder of what we’re up against in 2022.   John, Just as we predicted, Elise Stefanik is bringing in loads of cash for the GOP by aligning with Donald Trump, corporate donors, and their high-dollar fundraisers. She just announced that her upc…

Stefanik can’t keep her caucus in check

This kind of vile, hateful language has no place in our country.   John, Elise Stefanik has shown she’s not a responsible leader. It’s clear she’s more interested in amassing power and money than she is in representing our community. And even more than that, as Chair of the Hou…
