John, 

As a candidate in the time of COVID-19, one of my biggest responsibilities is protecting the health of our neighbors and the volunteers dedicating their time to this race. That means running a campaign that reaches our neighbors digitally and doing everything we can to avoid unnecessary in-person contact and outdoor politicking.

But I’ll be frank, John, this new type of campaigning costs money and every dollar matters if we are going to stay competitive.

A donation made today will receive a 6:1 match in public financing, meaning your $10, $50, or $250 contribution will become a $60, $300, or $1500 contribution to our campaign. Can you make a contribution before midnight tonight?

These asks can get tiring, I know. But there’s too much at stake in this race: the looming specter of evictions, shuttering of the small businesses we know and love, and a homelessness crisis that needs effective, compassionate solutions.

We have a long road to recovery ahead and I’m the only candidate that has put forward a comprehensive vision for how we can emerge from this crisis as a stronger, more vibrant community.

Thank you so much for your support and as always, please reach out to me if there’s anything you need.
