The work starts today

  Folks, After narrowly losing the House Majority this year, it’s going to take all of us stepping up over the next two years to regain the majority. And the path to the majority runs through New York, where we narrowly lost several critical toss-up seats. In fact, Pat was the only…

Supporting Raphael Warnock in Georgia

  Hi team, In just four days, a crucial runoff election is taking place in Georgia — and the difference between the two candidates could not be more stark. Reverend Raphael Warnock has honorably served Georgians in the U.S. Senate, working tirelessly to defend voting rights, lower …

Tough fights ahead

  Hi folks, just wanted to share a quick update as we finish out the remainder of this Congress and look ahead to next session. Sadly, we are already seeing extreme Republicans showing their true colors and picking all the wrong fights… Instead of fighting to lower the cost of gas,…

Pesky emails

  Team, we get it if you’re tired of political emails like this one. This election cycle just ended — in fact, votes are still being counted in some races! Here’s the thing: just because Election Day has passed doesn’t mean our work is done. With the slimmest Republican House major…

Building a sustainable campaign

  Folks, The midterm elections were weeks ago, but truthfully, it’s never too early to be thinking about the next election cycle. Pat won an incredibly competitive race this year — and Republicans are certainly going to target this seat next time around. After spending millions of …

So much to be thankful for

  Happy Thanksgiving everyone! There is so much to be thankful for on this day, and every single day. After a long, intense six months of campaigning, I’ll admit that I’m exhausted (and looking forward to napping on the couch after a home-cooked Thanksgiving meal!)... but I’m also …

Breaking down Pat’s victory

  Team, Pat won a competitive toss-up seat earlier this month in the midterm elections. However, Republicans won all the other toss-up seats here in New York in what proved to be a tough election year for NY Democrats. I wanted to take a moment to explain what made our race differe…

What’s on your mind?

Defeating the MAGA agenda

Did you see the news?   Breaking news, folks: Donald Trump announced last night that he’s running for president in 2024. This month, across the country, voters turned out in big numbers and voted against the candidates that supported Trump’s MAGA agenda. From his denial of the valid…

Tomorrow

Massive Republican spending

Republican super PAC throwing Colin Schmitt a lifeline.   Hey team, this is urgent. The Congressional Leadership Fund, a Republican super PAC, just dropped nearly $1 million on last-minute TV ads to spread vicious, desperate lies against Pat, all in support of Colin Schmitt’s campa…

Big corporations don't need another voice in Washington

Colin is bought and sold by anti-choice groups

What’s the truth, Colin?
