this is what $5 means

Friend, I know that you probably get a lot of emails about grassroots donations. But today, will you give me just 30 seconds to explain what exactly your $5 donation means? I first ran for office in a deep red district in upstate New York. When we flipped that seat blue against all the odds, I learned a fundamental truth about politics that has guided me ever since: Campaigns are won one voter, and one donation, at a time. You see, at the end of the day, photoshoots and consultants don't win elections. Votes do. And all the ways that we win those votes is what really matters — a yard sign in a neighbor's lawn, a mailer that offers solutions for the issues an undecided voter really cares about, a five-minute long phone call from a volunteer, a text that helps a busy mom vote by mail or a TV ad that reaches the right house at the right time. All those little moments add up to victory on Election Day. Building the resources to power that kind of campaign happens one grassroots donation at a time too. If you make a donation today, you can give us the resources to knock one more door, send another batch of GOTV texts or put up one more yard sign. If other folks chip in along with you, we'd have the resources to buy a TV ad spot or pay for a tour around the state to meet voters. New York Republicans just had their best election in decades, and with control of the Senate on the line in 2024, every single vote and every single donation will make all the difference for my campaign. That's why I'm personally asking: [Please, if you have anything to spare, will you invest in this people-powered campaign? I refuse to accept money from corporate PACs, so I truly rely on grassroots support from people like you.]( If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: [DONATE $5]( [DONATE $25]( [DONATE $50]( [DONATE ANOTHER AMOUNT]( With gratitude, Kirsten --------------------------------------------------------------- [Join Kirsten in the Fight to Defend the Senate.

As Democrats face our toughest Senate map in decades, I need your help more than ever. While Republicans only have to defend 10 seats in 2024, Democrats have to defend 23 – and if the GOP flips just two of them, it will deliver Senate control back to Mitch McConnell. Now, Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight is saying that the GOP has a clear path to the majority. As right-wing special interests gear up to pour millions into flipping the Senate, we need to fight back right now. But I refuse to take a single cent from corporate PACs, which means I’m relying on your grassroots support. [So please, chip in to help defend our narrow Democratic Senate majority.]( And if you’d like to become a core member of my team and receive exclusive texts from my campaign, [text JOIN to 60708.]( Thank you, Kirsten Gillibrand This email was sent to {EMAIL}.
