Jeff Kurzon Inequality for All

You may be thinking to yourself right now, “All politicians do is ask for money!” This fact may never change but I have taken the first step towards creating a different Washington by refusing to accept PAC, special interest, or lobbyist money. Early on I asked my opponent to do the same but she refused. As my staff and I have learned, challenging the status quo is not easy but I have stood by my word to run a grassroots campaign start to finish without letting big corporate money influence my decisions.

My priority is to give you a voice in our government. I want to work towards a more efficient and responsive government for the people, where your needs are heard and met. I believe in working for you without letting money influence my policies or decisions. When I am elected to be the Democratic nominee for New York’s District 7 on June 24th I will have you to thank!

Because I am not accepting any corporate money to fund my campaign I need your help in my path to victory.Tonight at midnight is the FEC pre-primary report-filing deadline and we still need to meet our goal of $8,725. If you donate, know that your help will go towards campaign literature, online & print advertising, and rally signs leading up to the last weeks of our campaign. It is crucial that we raise the funds needed to continue as a competitive candidate in the race.

Hope you’ve had an awesome Sunday. Thanks for your support. Just a couple weeks now until the June 24 election. When I win, people will ask how did he beat the corporate funded machine? The answer will be you – our volunteers. Thank you for your hard work.
