Why am I asking for donations? Because there is a lot to get done, and that's easier to do with money. With your donations, I can maintain a more informative and interactive website and newsletter. It will give me the opportunity to communicate with you in the methods most convenient for you, be that email, text, phone, social media platform, RSS, etc. It will also allow me to hold events to help connect with my constituents and get their direct feedback on the actions I am taking or should be taking. These are all nice-to-haves, though. I will work tirelessly and ethically regardless of any donations, so make sure to give to our local aid organizations first before considering a contribution to my campaign. I appreciate all of you!
