From Whitney - a favor

Dear friends,

 

I very much wanted to carefully go through my contacts database and send you each a personalized email, but I'm simply in too much of a whirlwind. Who could have anticipated that running for Mayor of New York City would be so all-consuming? 🤔🤣

 

Below is what I've been sending my friends today.

 

If you're in the city, please come to one of my four events coming up this week, and, in addition, there are three Zooms – details and links are below.

 

I would be grateful for your support!

 

Best regards,

 

Whitney

---------------------

As you may have heard, I recently announced that I'm running for mayor of NYC, which is headed in the wrong direction and urgently needs to be turned around (here are links to the launch article in the NY Post and my website).

 

My campaign – a 24/7 sprint to the June 24 primary, which will almost certainly determine the winner – is off to an incredible start in its first two months – and we haven't even officially launched yet (that'll happen on the 13^th). We'll see what other candidates report on January 15^th, but I think I'm currently raising more money from more donors than anyone else in the race. I'm putting together a phenomenal team and, as New Yorkers get more and more angry about rising rents and crime, among other things, I have a real shot at winning. Voters here (like just about everywhere) want change, and I am the clear change candidate.

 

I'm committed to revitalizing our city's economy to grow jobs and wages, making housing more affordable, cutting violent crime by 50%, ending street homelessness, and fixing our schools.

 

But to win, I need your help – FAST.

 

The next financial filing deadline for all candidates (and my first since I entered the race) is on January 11, only six days from today, so I'm scrambling like I've never scrambled before – and that's saying something!

 

If I can report a big number, it will propel me into the top few contenders – with all of the resulting media attention, invitations to speak to community groups, etc. – and, ultimately, to victory.

 

Can I ask you to donate what you can and, more importantly, reach out to your NYC friends (all donations from city residents up to $250 are matched 8:1, so $50 turns into $450, $100 into $900 and $250 into $2,250)? The link is: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/whitneyformayor

 

Thank you and happy new year!

 

Best regards,

 

Whitney
