our leaders in Congress didn’t grow up like us...

I’m here against all odds. I grew up on a road where most of our neighbors were family. My parents were able to provide a great upbringing through good union jobs – my mom was a nurse and my dad was an electrician. We didn’t have generational wealth, but we did have the values of hard work and determination. I saw that in the way my parents worked tirelessly to provide for working families like ours, fighting for their rights to fair wages and safe working conditions through their unions. They taught me the importance of serving my community and country. And thanks to them, I was able to defy the odds: as a first-generation college student, a commanding officer in the Air Force, and now, as a candidate for Congress. Now, I need you to help me defy the odds once again. I have a real path to victory, but I need grassroots support to win against the GOP’s dark money donors. [My End of Quarter fundraising deadline is just around the corner and I’m still $15,529 short of my goal. Can you chip in $27 so I can flip NY-22 and take my fight for working families to Congress? >>](~/AAPPAAA~/RgRn3vk-P0TIaHR0cHM6Ly9zZWN1cmUuYWN0Ymx1ZS5jb20vZG9uYXRlL2dhLWVtP3JlZmNvZGU9MjAyNDAzMjFfZW1fZnJfYjFfZGVmeW9kZHNlb3FfY2wmYW1vdW50PTI3JmNkbWM9MmUwVDdGRnJneTdpN3JNZDJpVzVBTVNKaFA2JnJlZmNvZGUyPTJlMFQ3RkZyZ3k3aTdyTWQyaVc1QU1TSmhQNiZyZWZjb2RlY2RtYz0yZTBUN0ZGcmd5N2k3ck1kMmlXNUFNU0poUDZXA3NwY0IKZfw-dPxlQfz7Q1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTFAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAEb) {NAME}, it’s no coincidence that the majority of our leaders in Congress didn’t grow up like most Americans. My parents didn’t have the wealthy friends to help me get admitted to some Ivy League university, or the money for me to take an unpaid internship, or the wealthy uncle to start my pay at six figures fresh out of college. Like you, we had to work hard to build a successful life. So when I was deciding to run for Congress, I knew I wouldn’t have the same advantages that most candidates do. I knew I didn’t have access to the wealthy, well-connected donors who bankroll politicians in D.C. I knew the odds would be stacked against me in this race. But thanks to grassroots supporters like you, this campaign is already defying the odds. [I know that together, we’ll take this seat (and the House) back for Democrats. But I need your help to hit my End of Quarter fundraising goal so I can be one step closer to being the leader NY-22 deserves.
