Dear John,

I need a little help.

Last week was a bit rough. Two hermit crabs moved into our living room and my mom and dad STILL have not gotten me groomed. I haven't been able to see my back left paw since January!

I'm looking forward to a new month -- no snow, regular walks and a haircut!

The last thing — LAST THING — I need is my dad to come up short in his campaign for County Executive. He's put way too much time into it. Next month marks three years — THREE YEARS — of campaigning. In dog years that's almost a generation.

So this is what I need you to do. It's simple. Pull out your credit card go to ActBlue and punch a generous donation. Please be as generous as possible this time around. The election is almost here.

Not only is my dad a great dad — he's a committed and trusted public servant — and he has done so much for our county:
Fixing roads and bridges
Fast internet to all parts of the county
Keeping good jobs right here
Keeping taxes low.

Please. Take a moment and make a donation today.

Now, if only he'll do something about those incessant, tiny little claws scraping against the glass aquarium walls...

Fondly,

Lucy Nelson
