CONGRESSMAN JOE CROWLEY Jeffrey E. Epstein Dear Jeffrey: Thank you for everything you do to promote and advance New York. We live in the greatest city, in the greatest state, in the greatest country in the world, and I am so proud to represent it in the U.S. Congress. I am looking forward to this year in large part because I am confident Democrats will make significant advances in the upcoming elections, but also because I will be celebrating my 50th birthday, and it is my hope you will be a part of this event.

Unfortunately, the Republican-controlled Congress has spent most of its time threatening to shut down the government. What we need is a Congress and a President who can work in partnership with one another, who can get things done to move America forward together. But, I need people like you to support m
