I really appreciate you opening this email on a Saturday, and I’ll return the favor by skipping the usual pomp and circumstance and just getting right to it. So no gimmicks or long, drawn-out explanations — just one simple question for you: Can I count on you to help me defend this battlegroun…

how’s this for throwback Thursday?

If you couldn’t tell from the picture, I’ve been an Upstate New Yorker all my life and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Between growing up here and raising a family of my own, I’ve got to say, Upstate New York is truly special. That makes it that much more frustrating when I see people in my …

what more do we need to say?

If we told you that re-electing Josh Riley is critical to Democrats’ chances of taking the House — would you chip in just $5 today? What if we told you that the GOP has targeted Josh’s seat because they know the majority runs through this battleground district? What if we told you that Donald Tru…

not a dime

I’m not taking a dime from corporate PACs, which makes what this grassroots team has achieved so far that much more impressive: We’re outraising my opponents and showing them what a true grassroots team can do. 💪 But with this seat at the top of Trump and Mike Johnson’s wishlist, we need to contin…

Upstate New Yorkers aren’t fooled

The GOP’s governing trifecta has been in power since January 2025, and where has it gotten us? Millions of Americans kicked off their health care. Skyrocketing prices on everything from gas to groceries. Billionaires enjoying massive tax breaks while families struggle. Masked agents terr…

what is the MAGA Majority program?

In a desperate attempt to cling to their historically narrow majority, the NRCC has launched their “MAGA Majority” program to target vulnerable blue House seats. And wouldn’t you know it, we made the cut. 🙄 This seat is one of 17 GOP targets, and National Republicans are committed to propping up P…

quick mental math

Between the GOP’s plummeting popularity and a surge of strong Democratic candidates this cycle, we’ve got a real shot at flipping the House in November. But winning requires defending key blue seats. Otherwise, the math starts to get a little tricky. Here’s what I mean: Currently, Democrats need t…
