Hi John xxxxxx,

In just a few weeks, there will be critical local elections happening across the nation. And while local officeholders make some of the most influential decisions concerning our everyday lives – many of the rooms where these critical decisions are being made have very few women.

That is why Her Bold Move is dedicated to supporting women running for these local offices – for example, we are thrilled to be supporting Carrie Ingersoll-Wood for County Legislator in Onondaga County, NY.

Carrie is running against Republican Mark Olson. Mark currently holds two elected positions (a major conflict of interest). He is the incumbent County Legislator for District 10 AND the Mayor of Fayetteville, a village within his district. Yet, despite his alleged leadership in local politics, his area has the highest rate of childhood poverty in the country - 49.6%.

Instead of addressing that issue, Mark voted with the Republican majority to use surplus funds from the American Rescue Plan to build an $85 million aquarium.

Here’s the thing - local races are a lot less expensive than federal races. You’d be surprised how far $10 can go in helping our local candidates WIN!

We are working to get women into ALL OF THE ROOMS where important decisions are being made – in every corner of our country. Can you rush $20.23 now to help ensure these candidates are elected in November?

More about Carrie:

If elected, Carrie will serve as one more much-needed voice for women in her area. Out of the 17 representatives in this county’s legislative chamber – only 6 are women. In fact, in the 43 years since Carrie’s district’s office was established, it has only been held by three people – and all three of them have been Republican men. Historically, this district has been considered Republican, but for the first time, the Board for the Town of Manlius in District 10 (Carrie’s district) is completely Democratic. We believe this shows that times are changing, and Carrie is ready to serve this town’s constituents. We think she can win her race IN JUST A FEW WEEKS!

The Onondaga County budget is $1.4 billion, and with that budget, the county could address child poverty, uplift educational opportunities, protect local businesses, and promote environmental sustainability. Instead, the legislature has mismanaged its finances and ignored the will of its voters.

Carrie has the credentials to prove she’s more than qualified for the job. Her diverse experience in community building ranges from her background as a teacher in the Syracuse City School District and as a club advisor with Girl Up, supporting members who fight for justice. We couldn’t be prouder to stand by her as she pursues this seat.

Carrie’s leadership is desperately needed, but she needs our help. Will you help us ensure she has what she needs to win her race by donating $20.23 or more today?

Together,
