Dear Lucas, 
I have some exciting news.
In a few weeks there is a special election in New York's 26th Congressional district and we have a strong Democratic woman running for the seat. Kathy Hochul is exactly the kind of dedicated fighter we need to challenge the GOP agenda and work for the people of New York. And best of all, she has a great chance of taking over this Republican-held seat.
I am proud to endorse Kathy and I hope you'll join me in supporting her. With just a few weeks until Election Day, she needs your help right now so she can win this close race. A new Siena poll shows Kathy within single digits of the Republican candidate. With Kathy on the ballot, Democrats have a real shot at cutting into the Republican House majority this year.
If there was ever a time when we needed more strong Democratic women in Congress, it's right now and Kathy is just the right candidate for the job.
Kathy has made a name for herself as someone who won't back down. She's fought to ease the burdens of excessive fees and tolls for hard-working Americans and has worked to create a transitional home for victims of domestic violence. We need Kathy in the House so she can join the stand against the GOP's extremist agenda.
Last year, Kathy won re-election as Erie County clerk by an incredible 79 percent! But she's now up against two deep-pocketed conservative self-funders who are spending whatever it takes to win.
Please make a contribution to Kathy's campaign today. With just a few weeks until Election Day, she needs your help right now so she can win this close race.
I know Kathy will be a valuable addition to Congress and will be a committed fighter for the middle class and all New York families. Please give her your support today.
Sincerely,
Kirsten Gillibrand
