Dear Friends,
I hope this email finds you well. The next eight to nine months will be some of the most challenging of my life as, I have made a decision to run for office in Bronx County.
After discussions with friends, including many of you, I know even more clearly that the Bronx needs leaders like us to take on this challenge.
Each of you has told me that we need to put a visionaries-group in place to do the preliminary work of early campaign committee organizing. It is not a decision which I take lightly and I am prepared to "roll up my sleeves" to work as hard as it will take to win this race.
You know every great tree began as a young sapling. This effort will require that each of us make a contribution towards establishing a more formal campaign committee to meet the many challenges lying ahead.
I am confident that we will win. And, I want you to be a part of our victory. I am asking you to please step up and join us in making it happen!

I am running because the people demand new, more accountable and transparent leadership. I also believe, as I think many of you will agree that the Bronx needs new leaders who have both the integrity, intellectual curiosity to learn new and better ways to govern, and who will represent us well in Albany and beyond. If we are to tackle all of the challenges that confront the Bronx and guarantee essential human rights for all, then we must elect leaders who go beyond doing just enough. We need leaders who will stand up and fight for what is right and what is fair. We need leaders with the intestinal fortitude to champion the right of all instead of doing the bidding of obstructionist, special interest groups. I wholeheartedly believe that I am ready to help lead New York in a more progressive, open-minded, bright and hopeful future.

https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/24093As a young challenger, I realize the odds are long. But that is why I am writing to you because as a friend, I look first to you for support. As you know, first time candidates do not have the power of incumbency or even the advantage of a formal organization. Therefore,I am starting from scratch.
I want you to be an early supporter in this race. I need to raise $25,000 in the next two weeks to hire a professional fundraiser, and thus begin the work of putting all of the necessary pieces in place, including a viability study, website, etc. in order to formally launch this campaign.
As an early visionary supporter, I ask for your contribution of $250 or more toward this early goal.

No contribution is too small nor any act in support of this candidacy too insignificant. I await your response and contribution with a great sense of gratitude for your friendship and support.
