A personal note about my friend, Jackie Gordon

‌Jackie Gordon and I are running in two of the most competitive races in the entire country: ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ {NAME} – Jackie Gordon and I are running in two of the most competitive races in the entire country: I’m reaching out directly because your support makes all the difference in our two races, which could be the deciding factors in protecting our Democratic Majorities or facing a full scale Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy takeover. If you’re able, please use this custom link to split a contribution between our two campaigns now: [ [Donate]( {NAME}, our present is nothing without our past, and Jackie and I both have the kind of stories that are only possible in America. Jackie came to the U.S. from Jamaica at just seven years old and watched her father rise from railroad worker to attorney. She dedicated her life to service -- as an educator, as well as spent 29 years in the U.S. Army Reserves deploying to Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay, and Germany for Operation Desert Storm. As a young Black girl who grew up poor in the South to become a law enforcement officer of 27 years and Orlando’s first female Chief of Police, I recognize the grit and determination that lives in Jackie too. She is exactly the leader Long Islanders deserve representing them in Congress. Jackie and I both know a thing or two about fighting tough fights, and our success will come down to fighting our hearts out until the very end. And we’re counting on grassroots supporters like you to be with us every step of the way.
