Dear Lucas,
Because of supporters like you, I am pleased to announce that our campaign
raised over $800,000 these last six months, bringing our two-year total to
almost $3 million! You've helped us outraise the rest of the field for the
second filing period in a row -- and Chirlane and I thank you from the bottom of
our hearts.
Whether you came to an event, hosted a house party, forwarded emails, spoke
with friends and family, or posted on Facebook or Twitter, supporters like you
from across our five boroughs helped us set the bar in fundraising.
I am deeply humbled by your amazing support.We are leading
the pack -- and this kind of momentum cannot be stopped!
Our campaign is about strengthening a city of neighborhoods for working
parents. Chirlane and I have sent both our kids to public schools -- so we
get it. We need quality schools for every child, a climate where small
businesses and innovation thrive, and services like child care and after-school
programs that make our neighborhoods work for parents and children. These
issues needs to be a priority again in our city. And with your help, they can
be.
With deepest gratitude,
Bill de Blasio
