Dear Lucas,
With just two weeks to go, I'm thrilled to share some very exciting news.
More powerful and progressive unions - Communication Workers of America District One and Local 1180 have endorsed my campaign - joining what Congressman Jerry Nadler called the most diverse coalition "from every community of any candidate in this race: uptown, down, straight, gay, black, white, Hispanic, labor - you name it."
CWA - who are experts at getting people out to vote - are joined by 17 of the 23 elected officials who have endorsed in the race, the Working Families Party, leading progressive voices like The Nation, and the best campaign any candidate could ever hope to assemble.
Now all I need is you. Everyone agrees that this race is going to be extremely close, which means that the campaign with the best get-out-the-vote operation is likely to win.
That's why I hope you will join me for a Get Out The Vote Party next Tuesday, September 8th from 7-9 PM, one week before election day. The invitation is below, and I hope to see you there!
This election offers us a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform our criminal justice system to one that invests in our communities, and uses a progressive, prevention-based approach to stop crime before it starts.
Let's win it together.
Sincerely,
s/Richard Aborn
