[My friend and former Senate counsel Josh Riley is running for Congress in NY-19, and his next FEC deadline is just a day away. Will you join me right now by splitting a contribution of $10 or more between Josh Riley and Fight for Reform?]( [Image of Josh Riley and Al Franken speaking closely] I can’t say enough good things about Josh. Josh is the hardest working person I know. Together we passed bills expanding rights for survivors of domestic abuse and providing new funding for addiction treatment and mental health programs. We also made a lot of Republican witnesses look very bad. Josh really cares about all the stuff I care about – and probably the stuff you care about too! [DONATE »]( If that isn’t enough to convince you, NY-19 is a must-win for Democrats to take back the House. Cook Political Report, Sabato’s Crystal Ball, and all the other smart people who know this stuff have already rated it a “toss-up.” It’s a true swing district, but Biden won it by 4% in 2020 and I know Josh can win it in 2024 – with our help! So this is pretty much the full package: a great candidate who will always do what’s right, and a big race we absolutely have to win. [Can Josh and I count on your support? The next big fundraising deadline of Josh’s campaign is coming up, and all eyes are on him. Please split a contribution between Fight for Reform to help them elect pto-Democracy state and local Dems and Josh’s campaign today.]( Thanks, Al PS - As you may know, I always end with a P.S. that’s just an excuse for another ask. [This is a super important deadline, so please chip in what you can!]( Josh Riley is only asking for contributions of up to $5,000 from individuals, federal PACs, and other federally permissible sources for End Citizens United-Nonfederal. Josh Riley is not asking for contributions in excess of that amount or any contributions from corporations, unions, or other federally prohibited sources.

The Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United v. FEC decision completely changed the landscape of American politics -- it opened the door for billionaires, corporations, and special interests to spend unlimited, untraceable money to influence our elections. Fight For Reform is standing up to Big Money by electing champions of campaign finance reform and voting rights to state government, and passing reform ballot initiatives.
