ICYMI

We have an important update since Laura sent this: we have a new opponent. Republicans recruited a candidate endorsed by Anthony D'Esposito to run against her. Republicans are serious about flipping this seat. With this race deciding whether Democrats take back the House majority, we need to s…

they are not going to stop

Republicans are spending millions to flip NY-04 and they are not going to stop. They've recruited a candidate handpicked and endorsed by Anthony D'Esposito to run against Laura. This race is one of the seats that decides whether Democrats take back the House majority and Republicans are doing …

Republicans just made it official

It’s official, John. Republican Jeanine Driscoll is the handpicked candidate by the Nassau GOP. The countdown to the general election starts today! FIGHT BACK ([link removed]) Republicans will flood our district with outside money and run attack ads nonstop. They will say anything to flip this…

why they are attacking me

Mike Johnson's allies just launched a multimillion-dollar ad campaign and my district is one of their targets. They're attacking me for voting against Donald Trump’s Big Ugly Bill. A bill that slashed Medicaid, cut food assistance and handed billionaires a massive tax break. I voted against it…

“it would be the end of the Trump presidency”

John, I don't usually quote Mike Johnson but he said something important recently: "If we lost the midterms — heaven forbid, if we lost the majority in the House — it would be the end of the Trump presidency in a real effect." That's the Speaker of the House admitting out loud what we alrea…

what makes me angry

John, Before I was in Congress I was the Hempstead Town Supervisor running the largest township in the United States. I managed a nearly $500 million budget, cut wasteful spending, took on corruption and actually lowered taxes for residents after years of hikes in a town that hadn't elected a …

$27

John, I want to share something with you. The average contribution to this campaign online is $27. And every one of those contributions helps us do something real: run ads to fight back against Republican attacks, reach voters in this district and build the kind of campaign it takes to win one…

I want to hear from you today

John, As we kick off April, I want to pause and ask something important. What issues are most important to you? This district is one of the most competitive in the country and I do not take that lightly. The only way we win tough races like this is by staying grounded in the people we repre…

thank you.

John, Thank you. We hit our FEC goal and I couldn't have done it without you. Every grassroots contribution sends a clear message to Republicans that this seat won't come easy. But I want to be honest with you: the fight is just getting started. The NRCC is already running attack ads aga…

I’m asking directly

John, We're hours away from our FEC deadline and I need to ask you directly. My race in New York is one of the seats that will decide whether Democrats take back the House majority. If we lose here, our hopes of taking back the House could be over. Can you chip in anything before midnight t…

Here's what's at stake:

John, Today is Laura's FEC deadline and we are not where we need to be to hit our goal. After the deadline, how much we've raised gets filed publicly and every Republican donor, strategist and outside group in the country sees exactly where we stand. We are asking everyone on this list to g…

why this email matters

This email is five sentences.

John, Laura's FEC deadline is five days away and we need to close the gap. Her race in New York is one of the seats that will decide whether Democrats take back the House majority. We're asking everyone on this list for just $10 today. That's it. That’s the email. CONTRIBUTE $10 ([li…

I’ll be straight with you:

John, I'll be straight with you: Republicans have more money than us. A lot more. Trump has a $300 million super PAC and Republicans entered this year with more than double the cash of Democratic groups nationally. Races like mine are exactly where that money goes. FIGHT BACK ([link remo…

Quick thoughts I jotted down

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or like one more political email might push you over the edge, I get it. But I want to be honest about why these messages matter. Republicans have complete control of the federal government and we see the damage they are doing every day. Unless Democrats take back th…

I’ll be quick

John, I'll keep this short since the week just started. Anthony D'Esposito is possibly running against me again. National Republicans are going to line up behind him and this race could decide who controls the House. We're halfway through the month and need to raise $5,678 before midnight t…

not this again ➡️

John, We cannot make this up: Republicans are propping up Anthony D’Esposito again. A failed challenger with baggage so heavy you could not pick it up if you tried. This is the same Anthony D’Esposito who was exposed for giving his mistress a taxpayer-funded, no-show job, and was named one …

New York will take back the House

Democrats need a net gain of just three seats to take back the House and four of New York’s congressional districts are rated as key swing districts. Experts say the majority could be decided by only a couple of seats. That makes races like NY-04 central to who controls Washington. If Republic…
