NY-01: one of 8 “races to watch” - you know who else is watching?

[John Avlon for Congress]( {NAME}, Reuters recently named this seat “one to watch” and it’s clear Trump has his eye on NY-1. Why? No, he’s not looking at real estate – it’s because one of his flunkies is flailing here. Can Trump count on Nick? Of course he can. Can Nick count on Trump? That tends to not end well. But MAGA Mike Johnson knows his majority is at stake, and he’ll spend whatever it takes to try to keep his job, too. No wonder Nick’s word doesn’t count for much - he’s already outsourced his conscience and common sense to do whatever Donald Trump says. [Those are the stakes, folks. We’re facing an avalanche of dark money and we’ve got less than 80 days to try to beat it. We need your help. If you haven’t yet, can you pitch in and help us fight back?]( -Team Avlon   Amid all the crazy news happening just about every day, here’s something you might have missed: there’s an unprecedented ad blitz happening right now in our district. Trump-aligned dark money groups are spending nearly $700k as you’re reading this to prop up their toady Nick LaLota – because they know he’s toast without it. This is not a sign of strength - it’s a sign of weakness. How many other incumbents are spending desperately right now to try to hold onto their seat? Not many. It’s because Nick’s scared and going to every right-wing group he can find, hat in hand, promising his unending loyalty in exchange for keeping his no-show job. [Long Island can do better than that. Help us fight back >>]( Yes, it’s a sign of extreme weakness that they’re spending nearly three quarters of a million dollars propping up an incumbent before Labor Day. But it also shows what we’re up against. Trump and his obedient Speaker Mike Johnson are going to stop at nothing to try to save one of their own. Flunkies gonna flunky, right? A lot of things suddenly make a LOT more sense. Like, why would Nick LaLota help torpedo a bipartisan border security bill led by a conservative Senator? Because he was told to. Why does he break his promises to us? Because he was told to. Now those same special interests Nick’s offering a bailout are coming in to try to help him save his seat. Don’t fall for it. It’s not Nick’s seat. It belongs to the people of Suffolk County. They deserve someone who’ll keep their promises. [That’s what’s at stake this November. We’ve got to win back this seat. Help make it happen >>]( -Team Avlon [CONTRIBUTE]( PAID FOR BY JOHN AVLON FOR CONGRESS John Avlon for Congress PO Box 1200 Sag Harbor, NY 11963 United States If you believe you received this message in error or wish to no longer receive email from us, please [unsubscribe](.
