Fight Back New York

8 MONTHS + $800,000 = 3 NEW VOTES FOR MARRIAGE EQUALITY!

Together, you and Fight Back New York have helped defeat two more anti-equality candidates at the polls today! Jose Peralta (D-13, Queens) will be joined by Tony Avella (D-11, Queens) and Tim Kennedy (D-58, Buffalo), who won at the ballot box today.

Successfully eliminating two more anti-equality candidates and ensuring pro-equality candidates replaced them wasn't easy. You helped drive nearly $800,000 into three strategically targeted districts and picked up three new marriage votes. Your support ensured constant direct communication with target voters – including hundreds of thousands of mail pieces, and radio and TV ads which aired over 1,200 times.

We're still awaiting final results on some of our strongest allies in the state senate, but the impact of your work with Fight Back New York will undoubtedly send shockwaves throughout Albany. And your impact will be felt far beyond New York.

By ensuring that this first-ever public campaign to take out anti-gay elected officials was a success, you've sent notice to politicians across the country: If you plan on standing in the way of our rights, we're going to fight like hell to see you replaced by someone who supports equality. And we will win.

Tonight, you won. This huge victory for equality is yours!
