Donate to Rini Sampath

Today, I officially filed to run for Mayor of Washington, D.C.


I’m running because our city deserves leadership that fixes the basics: safer streets, reliable services, accountable government, and lower costs.


Before we launch publicly next Wednesday, I’m reaching out to you first. I would love your commitment as a founding donor.


Early momentum matters in a race like this. Strong initial fundraising helps generate press coverage, signals credibility, and ensures we are taken seriously from day one.


Your early support will fund our headshots, brand design, website, and initial merchandise, the core pieces we need to launch strong.


If you’re able to contribute now, it would mean so much to me.


For DC residents, your contribution is especially powerful. Thanks to the Fair Elections Program, it’s matched 5:1. Please make sure your address is correct before donating so your gift is fully matched.


Under program rules, all individuals may contribute up to $200 total. Any amount above that will be refunded.


Thank you for believing in us.
