"Dear Mr. Jeffries,

Listen to voting Democrats:

1. We Democrats KNOW Brooklyn had the highest voter turnout of all NYC boroughs in the latest mayoral primary.

2. We support our fellow NYC Democratic Party voters.

3. Most important -- you MUST endorse who NYC Democrats voted for -- Zohran Mandani
-- or you are NOT for We-The-People voters as you claim to be.

Finally.
Democratic Voters Want Their Leaders to Stop Running From Zohran Mamdani !

We Democrats will not donate to the Democratic Party until you all, on television or by press conference, endorse Zohran Mamdani for Mayor of New York City!

Regards,
(me)
Retired teacher,
Member of AFT Local #1, Chicago Illinois

This is to Jeffries, not to DU. Of COURSE I support Democrats.
I just wrote to Jeffries to force him to support Democrats, too.

The party leadership should indeed get with their nominee unless he is really repulsive, which is far from the case here DFW Sep 10 #22
