IT'S CHRIS COLLINS

Dear Lucas,

After months of waiting, we finally have an opponent. Chris Collins, a multi-millionaire and failed politician, enters this Congressional race nearly 8 months after losing his re-election as County Executive.  Perhaps more telling is his long record of cutting jobs across Western New York and downsizing companies to try to turn a big profit.

Over the last year, Kathy has established herself as an independent leader and is proud to put her record of pro-business, common sense solutions up against Chris Collins' record of partisan politics any day of the week. But to do that, we need to have the resources to tell our story.

On Monday, Kathy told you about our goal to raise $25,000 by June 30th, and I am happy to report that we have already raised $9,412. Can you contribute $25, $50, $100 or more today to get us the rest of the way there?

Campaigns are about communicating a message and standing by a record, and I know that when voters have the opportunity to compare what Kathy has done for Western New York with Chris Collins' record of slash and burn partisan politics, she will come out on top.

But like I said, in order for Kathy to fight back against our millionaire opponent's negative attacks, we will need the resources to tell her side of the story. Can you contribute $25, $50, $100 or more today to make sure we hit our $25,000 goal?

It is going to be an exciting five months until November. Hope to see you on the campaign trail.

Onward,

Frank Thomas
Campaign Manager
