Dear Friend,

As we near the end of the first quarter of 2020, I find myself considering the incredible things we’ve accomplished in just the last few months - and what lies ahead as we enter the heart of 2020.

I’m running for Congress to give my District a fair shot of survival. For folks in my region, change can’t wait. As a Social Worker and Addiction Counselor for nearly 40 years, I am well-equipped to take on the challenges facing my region. I’m proud to be running for Congress in Missouri’s 8th District.

Here’s an overview of some of what we've accomplished since January :

*
We
hit
-
and
exceeded
-
our
2019
fundraising
goal,
starting
2020
on
strong
financial
footing.


*
We
travelled
to
DC
to
meet
with
key
endorsement
groups
about
our
campaign.
We
were
blown
away
by
the
support
we
received,
and
have
been
excited
to
roll
out
endorsements
from
National
Women’s
Political
Caucus,
VoteProChoice,
and
BlueAmerica.
More
exciting
updates
to
come
soon.


*
We
continued
hosting
town
halls
all
throughout
MO-08,
bringing
in
new
faces
in
standing-room-only
venues
throughout
the
District.
We’ve
hosted
12+
of
these
since
October
2019.


*
We
hired
a
full-time
Field
Director,
growing
our
staff
of
smart,
committed
young
people
to
six.
We’re
preparing
to
hit
the
ground
running
soon
by
knocking
doors
and
making
calls.



So, where are we headed now? Read the full letter from me on Medium… [[link removed]]

I greatly appreciate your support as we build this campaign. But, here’s the deal: We set a goal of raising $20,000 before the end of March to sure up our field operation. [[link removed]] Reaching voters takes resources, from staff to supplies to supporting volunteers - and we need to hit this goal in order to reach as many voters as possible. It’s our biggest goal yet, but we believe that with your support, we can do this.

We’re already a quarter of the way to this goal. Can you pitch in now to get us closer? [[link removed]]

I look forward to working with you throughout this campaign, and I thank you again for your support. Together, we can build a Missouri — and a country — that works for us all.

Best,
