Yes. Jon’s cell is (917) 348-1117. You should say you would love to have coffee with him the next time your schedules permit.

Do you know Tony James? He would be good for you to call as well. He’s 100% in for HRC. FYI, someone floated the idea to him of helping with Priorities, but he decided he’d rather focus on the campaign. He just doesn’t have enough time to do Priorities given his work commitments. Tony James’ cell is (917) 609-7245.

>> 1) John, it would be really helpful if you could call Bobby Stein. He mentioned to a few people (Tom Nides, David Jacobson, etc.) that he wants to hear from a senior HRC campaign official to ask him for his help and ideas - beyond just fundraising. A lot of his friends in FL are Republicans are they are getting that kind of touch from Jeb Bush’s team. See below for a call sheet.

>> 2) Jon Gray of Blackstone… he is going to run Blackstone one day. Really admires HRC and wants to be helpful, but doesn’t know our world that work. Would be good for him to get to know you. The next time you are in NYC, I think you and I should meet with him.

>> Talking Points   Bobby mentioned that he is being courted heavily by Jeb Bush team.  Please let Bobby know how thankful we would be to have his support.  We want him to play an integral role in our efforts in Jacksonville and throughout the state of Florida.  This first convo should not be fundraising focused.  Please also mention and thank him for his role in debt retirement efforts for HRC.
>> 
>> FLAG - Bobby mentioned that no one ever called to thank him for debt retirement work (note: the reason for this is that the Obama campaign helped raised about $250K for her debt in 2011-2012; because she was SecState, she was barred from being involved and thanking anyone).  He also mentioned that he wants to speak with HRC.  This may come up in your convo.
