John,

I have a vision for this city. I’ll tell you about it shortly.

But first, I have an urgent request. To run a winning campaign next year, we need a surge of grassroots donations before December 31.

After that, our campaign finance report will be made public, telling the press, the pundits, and our opponents how strong this campaign is.

If you’ve been thinking about donating to my campaign to lead San Francisco and get this city back on track, don’t wait any longer. Contribute now.

I have a commonsense vision for San Francisco. In it, we can all afford to live, work, and raise children here – even if we aren’t wealthy.

We can make a living running a local business without worrying that we’ll show up to work to find the windows broken.

We can stroll the Embarcadero on a Sunday afternoon and see other families out and about, tourists and locals alike.

I have the experience to make this vision a reality. I’m a city planner who’s lived in San Francisco for more than 20 years and worked under Mayors Brown and Newsom. Just this year, I helped pass an ordinance that will bring police foot and bike patrols to each neighborhood starting January 1 to improve public safety.

Please chip in before our end-of-year deadline, so we can show the strength of this campaign, win the election in November, and get San Francisco back on track.

Many thanks,

Ahsha
