One of my favorite things about New York City is that we have always been at the forefront of progressive politics. I believe that public service is about making things easier and more manageable for those who have less. What makes our generations-long commitment so special is that our city is also a place of incredible wealth. We show the world that wealth and progressive politics are not - and should never be - mutually exclusive. As Manhattan Borough President, I have worked hard to maintain this dynamic balance and commitment.
Which is why I am supporting Gustavo Rivera for State Senate. He has a very real opportunity to oust disgraced incumbent Pedro Espada. Please join in me in providing Gustavo with the resources he needs to advance our shared priorities.
Gustavo has the right mix of qualifications and accomplishments to win this campaign and serve with distinction. He is an educator, an organizer, a savvy activist, and just recently served as Senator Gillibrand's Statewide Director of Community Outreach.
You can learn more about Gustavo at: www.GustavoforStateSenate.com
The next filing deadline is this tonight, August 30th, at midnight. I urge you to contribute whatever is possible to ensure that Pedro Espada does not return to the State Senate next year.
Whether you can contribute $100, $250 or $500, $1000 or more - every dollar will be used by Gustavo to ensure victory on September 14th.
Thank you for your time,
Scott Stringer
