Dear Lucas,
We are writing with exciting news. The New York Times endorsed Judge Rita Mella for Manhattan Surrogate's Court. About Judge Mella, the Times wrote:
The Times endorsement comes on the heels of Judge Mella receiving the highest ratings from the New York City Bar Association, New York Women's Bar Association, and LeGal (Lesbian and Gay Association of Greater New York).
These endorsements reflect Judge Mella's outstanding qualifications for Surrogate - her experience in the Surrogate's Court and other courts, her tenure as a judge, and her lifetime commitment to public service. Simply, Judge Mella has the unique experience and skills needed to serve the Surrogate's Court and the people of Manhattan.
This has been an
outstanding week. The news is good. We are honored to share it with so many
supporters and friends. But there is still work to be done. There are a
little more than two weeks until the election. We are grateful for your
support thus far. And, we are looking forward to working with you through
the September 13th primary election.
We will be in touch soon with volunteer opportunities for the remainder of
the campaign. You can help us today by making a contribution at www.mellaforsurrogate.org or with the printable contribution form.
Thank you for your friendship and support.
Warmest Regards,
Lisa Kaplan,
Campaign Treasurer
