NYACK, NY – Congressman Mondaire Jones (NY-17) announced that he had raised over $580,000 in the first fundraising quarter of his 2022 re-election campaign. This brings his campaign’s fundraising to over $624,000 for the cycle and leaves him with $1,285,000 in the bank.

“We are humbled by the outpouring of grassroots support for Mondaire, all without taking a dime from corporate PACs,” said Campaign Manager Hannah Nayowith. “Mondaire was elected last cycle by a progressive coalition with an appetite for new leadership in Washington, and his hard work fighting on behalf of the people of New York’s 17th Congressional District is not going unnoticed. These numbers prove what we already knew: that our movement is only growing. We’re not going anywhere.”

Jones, who made history as one of the nation’s first two openly gay, Black members of Congress, was elected in 2020 to represent Westchester and Rockland Counties in Congress. Since launching his primary campaign in July 2019, his campaign has refused to accept corporate PAC and fossil fuel industry contributions.

“The people of Westchester and Rockland Counties sent me to Washington to deliver real change for our communities, and I wake up every day with that in mind,” said Jones. “I’m proud to already be delivering for my constituents, and I’m humbled to know they have my back as well.”
