Alessandra Biaggi - I’m running for Congress against Sean Patrick Maloney

 

Friends -

I’ve got some huge news to share this morning regarding my campaign for Congress, and I wanted you to be one of the very first to know:

I’m running to be the next member of Congress from New York’s 17th district, a newly redrawn district that includes Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, and Dutchess counties.

I’ll explain the stakes of this decision in just a moment.

Here’s the truth: This is going to be a tough race, right from the start.

We are facing off against Sean Patrick Maloney, a very well-funded and well-connected corporate Democrat. He is the kind of opponent who can rally the political and corporate establishment in both New York and Washington to try and stop us.

I decided to run for Congress in the first place because I'm so frustrated by what's simply not happening in Washington. Democrats talk the talk about tackling climate change, reducing the cost of prescription drugs, passing stricter gun laws, protecting abortion rights — the list goes on. But nothing ever changes.

Sean Patrick Maloney represents what doesn’t work with the Democratic Party today.

I’m no stranger to Sean Patrick Maloney’s kind of opposition.

I won my race for State Senate in 2018 by primarying a powerful seven-term Democrat. 

I’ve never shied away from fights like these before, because I know that I have supporters like you standing with me. 

I know that together, we can build a grassroots movement that will mobilize, organize, and win all across the 17th district.

Sean Patrick Maloney represents what doesn’t work with the Democratic Party today.

He's gladly taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from corporate PACs who poison our political system with endless dark money.

From the insurance and pharmaceutical companies, who make billions in profits while working people struggle to afford health care and prescription drugs? Check.

From Wall Street banks, whose greed and corruption crashed the economy as their executives paid themselves massive bonuses with taxpayer dollars? Yes, them too.

I’m no stranger to Sean Patrick Maloney’s kind of opposition.

I won my race for State Senate in 2018 by primarying a powerful seven-term fake Democrat. We were outspent nearly 10-to-1, with outside special interests spending millions of dollars trying to stop us.

It didn’t work then, and it won’t work now.

I’ve never shied away from fights like these before, because I know that I have supporters like you standing with me. We know this is possible because the political currency of our time is people.

That’s why I’m not accepting a cent of corporate PAC money, and it’s why we’re funding our campaign the right way — with lots and lots of people chipping in what they can.

I know that together, we can build a grassroots movement that will mobilize, organize, and win all across the 17th district.
