Friend,

I want to be straight with you.

We have 24 hours left until our End of Quarter deadline, and what happens next will shape the future of this campaign.

This campaign has never been about big donors or insiders. It is about everyday people stepping up because they believe Shelby County deserves leadership that actually shows up for our neighborhoods, our kids, and our future.

I am running because too many families are being left behind.

Because public safety means prevention, accountability, and opportunity, not just reacting after harm is done.

Because every child deserves a strong start, which is why universal pre-K is a non-negotiable priority for me.

And because economic growth should lift everyone, not just a few at the top.

Here is the truth. We are building a people-powered campaign in a system that was not designed for people like us to win.

That only works if folks like you step up in moments like this.

If you have already given this quarter, thank you. Truly.

If you have been waiting for the right moment, this is it.

Can you chip in before midnight tomorrow to help us close the gap and finish the quarter strong?

Even $5 or $10 makes a real difference when it comes from people who believe in this movement.

I know times are tough. If you cannot give right now, please know this matters too. Reading this email, sharing it, and believing in what we are building means more than you know.

But if you can give, I am asking you to do it today.

Let’s show Shelby County what people-powered leadership looks like.

With gratitude,

Mickell
