Lucas,

Yesterday, one of our opponents announced that he's running for Congress. We knew going in that this wouldn't be easy but we're in this fight together.

I'm with Charlie and I'm donating to help him win!

We know Charlie Rangel is the best person to keep fighting for us. We know he's not done pushing for living wages and unemployment insurance, working to pass real immigration reform, fighting for more affordable housing and standing up for veterans.

He's out there raising hell for working families and we're not going to let up now.

Charlie Rangel has the proven record and is the clear choice. Working with President Obama and Mayor de Blasio, there is nobody who can do more for the families of Upper Manhattan and the Bronx to deliver the progressive results we need.

But he can't do it alone.

Lucas, will YOU donate now to help Charlie win?

We need him in Washington but we can't sit back and wait. Progress doesn't happen just because we hope for it, and as someone who marched in the Civil Rights Movement, Charlie Rangel knows that.

We need to work for progress. And whether that's on civil rights, raising the minimum wage, protecting food stamp recipients, standing up for new Americans, or opposing cuts to Social Security and Medicare, Charlie Rangel is on the front lines for us.

He's made such a difference in the lives of so many Americans. Now with this tough re-election campaign, he needs you to step up and make a difference so that he can continue to deliver for us.

In this big moment, will YOU contribute to keep Charlie Rangel in Congress?

Thank you,

Rangel for Congress

P.S. We just received the first union endorsement of the race, from Plumbers Local 1. Will you stand with them in support of Charlie Rangel?
