Hey John – it’s Hannah King!

I just became one of the newest (and the youngest!) city councilors in Burlington on town meeting day! But before my own campaign, I worked to help elect Becca Balint as her Finance Director last cycle.

I can tell you from personal experience why this FEC filing deadline is so important: First, as a freshman member of Congress, she has a lot to prove. Other people want to win this seat, and putting up a weak finance report would signal to opponents that there may be an opening for them to take it.

Second, campaigns take a massive amount of resources. Even smaller city council races like mine take thousands of grassroots dollars to be able to pull off. In order to run another statewide campaign, hire staff, and open offices, Becca needs us to step up and help fuel her new campaign operation!

Becca has committed her life to public service and used her voice to uplift the next generation of leaders who will move Vermont forward – including me! Now, let’s help her finish the first quarter of 2023 off strong. Before tonight's deadline, donate $5 or more to help Becca reach her $32,000 end-of-quarter goal!

Thanks so much for supporting my friend and mentor Becca.
