Message from Ciro Rodriguez on Cong. District 23 run-off

Last Tuesday, the voters of the 23rd once again showed their support and confidence in me. I am truly humbled, honored and grateful to you. I am proud of the positive campaign that we ran, and I am determined to stay focused on our Democratic values, and the issues that matter to the working families of the 23rd….  protecting Social Security and Medicare, expanding opportunities for working families, keeping America’s promise to our veterans, insuring that every young person  has access to a good education and keeping the American Dream alive for our children. I want to thank everyone who phone-banked, block-walked, stuffed envelopes, or made a financial contribution to my campaign. You are a BIG part of my success. I was outspent 9-to-1 by special interest and out of district money, but with your hard work we came out on top. The Express News Editorial Board observed that "All the negative spending and attack ads achieved underwhelming results. . . As returns continued to roll in Tuesday night, Rodriguez hovered just above the 50 percent mark necessary to avoid a runoff with his closest competitor". You showed that what matters in this district is personal commitment and hard work. The journey is not over. I need you again! We have less than two months to victory, and your help and support will ensure our success on July 31st.! For that to happen,  I need your continued support - can I count on you? We have proven that we make the most of the generous contributions that we receive, & YOUR contribution of $25, $50, or more will go a long way. Mil Gracias,
