When we do this TOGETHER we create new possibilities.

In my heart I believe that TOGETHER we can create a community we love! It's not going to be easy but the first step is winning this race.

Frankly, in addition to knocking doors, doing forums, going to meetings, we've got real cost: list to buy, mailers to get out, ads to place, and experts to consult with to help us win. Unfortunately, it's going to take thousands of dollars to win so every penny counts.

We cannot do this by ourselves so know that your gift will help us bring this to reality.

This matters because at the end of the day, your voice, your wants, your needs should be heard and considered. I know that if we are really going to move our neighborhood, our city, our state FORWARD then it is going to take all of us working together #UnitedInOurDifferences.

I'm here to do just that and do it not only through a diverse eye and inclusive heart but with the lens of transparency, integrity and accountability. Period.

So even though I hate to ask, please donate, any amount.

Your donation will help us win and then we can get to the business of building upon the past and moving forward into the new possibilities we will create, together. It's that simple.

Thank you ahead of time,

Amani

P.S. Know that I appreciate you giving me, our campaign, your hard-earned money. I don't take this for granted.
