News from Pat Ryan

Hello New York 18! 

Well, it’s official! We have a Congressman in the house (also in the House). Pat Ryan was sworn in last week and is now serving as the Representative for NY-19. A big congratulations to Pat and the whole campaign team. Now let’s do it again in NY-18!

News

News you ask? News about Pat Ryan? Oh, you mean other than getting a standing ovation from House Democrats on Wednesday after being sworn in? Yeah, there’s some other news.

Pat has been busy as always, campaigning hard while working the new job. In his first week he joined the Pro-Choice Caucus, was appointed to his first committee (House Armed Services Committee), and successfully navigated the corridors of power to find the coffee machine. In local news, he was recently hosted at the Dutchess Democratic Women’s Breakfast. Pat was also listed as a Candidate for the Common Good and attended the Arlington street fair in beautiful Dutchess County, where we can only assume he ate his weight in funnel cakes (waiting for full confirmation from HQ).

What’s Next

Thank you to everyone who took part in the Weekend of Action. Canvassing is so vital to this campaign. That kind of 1-1 contact has been proven to be the best, most reliable method to increase voter turnout. And in a Midterm election, turnout is basically the whole ballgame. If you’ve canvassed for Pat before, fantastic! If this will be your first time ever, also great! Sign up for a shift today, and let’s knock those doors!
