Do you really want Nadler there? Also, is he in a race that is going to be tough?

Hey Zach! Long time no chat :(

Congressman Nadler reached out about the below DNC fundraiser in NYC. Looks like Bobby suggested an invite would be forthcoming. Do you know anything about that? Should I be working with you or Scott?

PRESIDENT OBAMA ENDORSEMENT QUOTE FOR CONGRESSMAN NADLER -- DRAFT

“Few in Congress provide the kind of thoughtful and frequently courageous leadership that Jerry Nadler does on so many important issues.  Whether it’s standing up to powerful interests to pass common-sense gun safety laws, protecting a woman’s right to choose, or speaking out in defense of basic civil liberties wherever they’re threatened, Jerry Nadler is recognized as a national leader.

“And Jerry is someone I have watched, again and again, deliver for the people of New York—especially his tireless work after the tragic attacks of 9-11 on behalf of survivors and first responders.

“Jerry Nadler’s voice is an important one in the United States Congress, not just for New Yorkers, but for all Americans.  I’m proud to endorse him for re-election, and I hope—and I can’t say this strongly enough—that you will vote for him on June 28th.”

PRESIDENT OBAMA SCRIPT FOR CONGRESSMAN NADLER -- DRAFT

“Hello, this is President Barak Obama, calling to urge you to vote on Election Day this Tuesday, June 28, for Congressman Jerry Nadler.  There are few in Congress who have provided the kind of thoughtful, and often courageous leadership that Jerry Nadler does on so many important issues.  Jerry is someone who regularly delivers for his constituents, his district, and his country, never afraid to put in the hard work to make a real and substantive difference.  Whether it is healthcare and compensation for 9-11 survivors and responders, passing common-sense gun safety laws, or protecting a woman's right to choose, Jerry's voice and leadership is something we desperately need.  I am proud to endorse him for re-election, and urge you to join me in supporting Jerry Nadler for re-election on June 28.”

Fantastic news, thanks Bobby!

We are planning to drop our first campaign lit right after Memorial Day, so if there is any way to get approval on the President's endorsement, as well as the Oval Office photo, in time for that mailer it would be greatly appreciated.

Please let us know if there is any additional information we can provide. Looking forward to joining you for the June 8 DNC event.

Thanks,
Danny

Thanks Daniel.

We'll make edits and work to get recording time locked in after Memorial Day.

Thanks so much Bobby!

Attached is a drafted endorsement and script. In terms of the official photo, I will scan a copy on Monday and send across to see if we can get permission to use for the campaign. Will also connect with the DCCC about an email blast.

Appreciate the support.

       Danny -

       The DNC wanted to invite the Congressman to the event on the 8th - they'll be in touch about that evening event and the logistics as it comes closer.

       Please share the endorsement language with me and the DNC's political director, Raul Alvillar, who is cc'd here. After the language is approved on, the DNC communications team (with input from the President's communications shop) can work with your team on the release timeline.

       Photos will be taken at the DNC event. Please send a copy of the official photo you're interested in using politically; there's an approval process involving our lawyers and the Photo Office that I'll have to check.

       We do not control the DCCC email plan, however. I suggest you visit with their team first on any branding that may include the President - they're in regular contact about approval.

       Thanks.
       Bobby

       Subject: Offered support for Congressman Nadler

       David + Bobby,

       Thanks again for taking the time earlier this week. Following our conversation, I am sending across a few items where the White House has generously offered its support. Again, if there is someone my boss could/should call, I know he would really like to express his appreciation to the President.

       Below are items we discussed:

               Congressman Nadler would definitely like to join the President for the DNC fundraiser in NYC on June 8, and any words of support at the event would be greatly appreciated.

               We have drafted an endorsement, as well as a script, that we would like to send across -- please direct where to send for approval.

               We would like to use a photo of the Congressman with the President in some of our materials. Wondering if we could use the photograph taken last summer when Congressman Nadler had a meeting in the Oval Office (I can direct you to the specific photo). We have not used it on the official side, so should be clear to use it as part of the campaign. Also, if there will be HiRes photos from the DNC event in June we would like to be able use them for the campaign.

               We want to get an email blast from the DCCC before June 28 that has a message of support from the President. Wondering if this is a possibility, and if we could draft something for your approval.

       Thanks again for all your help, and let me know if there is anything more I can do to move things forward.

       Best,
       Danny Schwarz
