[John Avlon for Congress]( {NAME}, 251 days ago, I decided to get in the arena and run for Congress. Given the stakes of this election for our country and community, just talking about the fate of our democracy on TV felt civically lazy. As a historian and the grandson of immigrants, I know that we cannot take our democracy for granted. Running for Congress is the honor of a lifetime. I love listening and learning from people and honestly answering their questions about how we can reunite as a country and community. One of the most common questions I get is - why? Why are you doing this? Why did you quit your job and take the leap? I often think back to what I said 251 days ago when I started this journey: âWe need to build the broadest possible coalition to defend our democracy, defeat Donald Trump, and win back the House from his MAGA minions. I know that if we work together, we can flip this seat and finally solve problems for Long Island families. Iâm running for Congress because thereâs too much at stake for the country and the community I love. We need to rebuild the middle class, protect womenâs reproductive freedom, invest in our infrastructure, transportation and mitigate climate change. And we canât ignore the threat to our democracy that Donald Trump and his MAGA minions in Congress pose - including just recently blocking a bipartisan border security bill on Trumpâs orders, all to appease their leader. Theyâre refusing to do their jobs â and thatâs a firing offense.We have to get past this poisonous hyper-partisanship. I believe in a different approach.Our next member of Congress needs to work with all people of good faith, based on common sense and common facts to solve the common problems we face.â Even with all the twists and turns of this campaign, Iâm proud to say thatâs what our campaign has always been about. Iâm humbled to see just how many happy warriors weâve been able to inspire and just how broad of a coalition weâve been able to build. 251 days ago, I declared that if we work together, we really could flip this seat. Now, weâve been highlighted as one of the most important battleground races in the country. New Yorkâs First District - with more registered Independents than nearly every district in America - is going to decide the balance of power in the House. And for it to go our way, all we have to do is vote: Thatâs not something I take lightly. Itâs why I remain grounded in the idea that we can work together with common sense to solve our common problems. Itâs why this election is too big for teamism. Thank you for being with me on this journey. Some of you have been with me a lot longer than 251 days, and some of you are just joining the team. I wouldnât be here without each and every one of you. This is it. The final push. My team knocked on some absurd number of doors this weekend (north of 18,000!) and called and texted over 100,000 people. We are leaving it all on the field. [One more time before November 5th, can you pitch in to support our work?]( [Please chip in today and letâs go win this thing >>]( This is going to be close. Multiple recent polls have our race running neck-and-neck. But if youâre seeing what weâre seeing - you know we are running up the middle and closing fast. The path to victory is in front of us. Now itâs time to run through the tape. Thank you for fighting the good fight with me. -John [CONTRIBUTE]( PAID FOR BY JOHN AVLON FOR CONGRESS John Avlon for Congress
