Tomorrow, our first ad will be going up on the air in the 26th District, but I wanted to give everyone here a sneak preview.
Here's the spot.
Our primary is on September 9, only 21 days away, and we are in a tough fight against millionaire Jack Davis. He has been on the air for a few weeks, and we have to catch up.
We have initiated a true people-powered, grassroots effort that has introduced our message of change to many people who live in New York's 26th District. Tomorrow morning, this TV ad will hit the airwaves and we will have an opportunity to be introduced to those people who haven't yet been contacted by our field team or myself directly.
This is where you come in. Today we are launching a fundraising drive on the Internet called "Introducing Jon Powers." Our goal is to raise $10,000 in 10 days to help this TV ad introduce us to those people in Western New York who have not had the opportunity to shake my hand and say hello.
There are a couple of things you can do to make "Introducing Jon Powers" a success:
This is an ambitious goal, but, with your help, one I think we can achieve. We'll be posting updates on our fund raising drive as we progress.
Thank you in advance for your help. Remember, the election is important, and together we have the power to change Washington.
