[Survey] Preventing Trump's brand of corruption for future generations

Kara Hahn for Congress       The House is considering legislation to curb corruption at the executive level and prevent another president from abusing the powers of their office like Trump. What do you think, John? Should Congress pursue reforms to curb corruption at th…

Good news and bad news -- and how you fit in

Kara Hahn for Congress       I've got good news and bad news to share with you, John. I hate to email you on a Saturday, but it's important -- I'll keep this short and sweet. The Bad News: We've still got a gap in our fundraising, and it's officially past the halfway point o…

Thinking about next year and the work ahead

Kara Hahn for Congress       Hey John, I'm reaching out because I need your help. Our October fundraising has gotten off to a slow start and we need to make up some ground now to stay on track toward our monthly goal. Will you chip in $5, or whatever you can, to help close …

The American people can’t wait

Kara Hahn for Congress       John, Lately, we've been reminded of one tough fact -- progress can take time. But where we get frustrated on Team Hahn, is that the American people can't wait. The people who struggle to afford their medication month after month can't wait. Ame…

My family's struggles are not uncommon

Kara Hahn for Congress       John, In 2019, my Mom and Dad moved more than a thousand miles away and both now suffer from memory loss and other severe health issues. If this wasn't tricky enough, my family has had to manage their care in the midst of a deadly pandemic. I br…

You're my last shot, John

Kara Hahn for Congress   Hi John, I know it's late and we've already emailed you today, but I just heard from our Finance Director, Alison, that we're still $2,944 behind our end-of-quarter fundraising goal. If we're going to defend the Democratic majority in the House, we need to f…

Still time (not much)

Kara Hahn for Congress       John, I'll be honest, I'm worried about reaching our end-of-quarter fundraising goal. Today is the LAST day of the FEC's official fundraising quarter and we're still $7,229 short of our target. Can you help? $5 would make a huge difference towar…

Opportunities like this don't come around often

Kara Hahn for Congress       John, The path to holding onto our Democratic Majority in Congress runs through New York and this race in NY-01 is as competitive as they come. Why? For the first time in years, this is an open seat and NY Democrats won't compete against Lee Ze…

Zeldin voted no

What happens on September 30th

Running for Congress is exactly what I thought it'd be

Kara Hahn for Congress       John, It's already been three and a half months since we launched our movement to flip New York's 1st District -- time sure does fly. Running for Congress is everything I thought it'd be -- the fun parts and the tough parts. Meeting voters, hear…

Only three times...

Kara Hahn for Congress       John, we need to have a tough conversation. Since 1934, when FDR was President, the party in power has consistently lost House seats in midterm elections. In fact, only three times in nearly a century has the party in power gained seats in the Ho…

The last thing we need
