Dear John,

I know what it’s like to worry about paying bills or whether I’m going to have a roof over my head. So what’s happening at the Sheriff’s Office feels deeply personal to me.

All I can envision is the number of families who don’t have a home. How many dreams have been stolen? How much heartbreak has this caused?

We have proof that this has been going on for decades. Thousands of Philadelphians. And it’s happening in different ways in cities all across the country.

What kind of person would steal someone’s home?

I remember reading the story of Robin Hood when I was a child. When Robin Hood stole, he stole from the rich to give to the poor – and the Sheriff didn’t like that. Today, Sheriff’s offices across the country are stealing from the poor to make themselves rich.

The only thing that hasn’t changed is that the Sheriff is still the bad guy.

Not on my watch.

I will find this stolen money and return it back to the victims. And I will make sure that no one in our government gets away with stealing from us.

Can you help me put a stop to the Sheriff’s corruption by donating now? With the election less than a month away, whatever you can give will make all the difference.

In solidarity,

Alexandra Hunt, MS, MPH, ACRP-CP

Democrat for Philadelphia City Controller

She's the daughter of two teachers and a sister to a twin brother with a learning disability. Seeing the systemic obstacles her brother faced inspired Alexandra to become an advocate and challenge barriers on the basis of race, gender, class, and ability.

Now, Alexandra's running to be the Philly's next City Controller because the people in Philly work too hard for too little. And right now, line items in budgets create lines for food and health care. It's time to elect a City Controller who is going to prioritize the needs of the communities Philly's money comes from.
