John,

First off, thank you for everyone who has donated since we launched our Commission campaign here in DeKalb County, you've already helped us reach 25% of our campaign budget! Thank you!

But here is what we need to talk about... all of us have friends, family, and neighbors, who have lost their jobs because of the COVID-19 crisis. Or you might be in that very situation. Many Americans are finding themselves without a paycheck and worrying about paying their bills.

The impact of the coronavirus is hitting our campaign hard as well. As you can imagine fundraising for political campaigns has taken a lesser priority to the immediate relief needed on the ground now.

Our campaign team was hired two months ago with the expectation they'd have a paycheck through the May 19th election. And I have promised to keep that paycheck coming every two weeks. These are hard times, and I wanted you to know that your financial support of our campaign is supporting a group of people working to build a progressive movement right here in DeKalb County. Pushing to make change happen from the bottom up.

Below you met our hard-working, resilient, and innovative team. They are committed to the vision of this campaign. I hope you will learn more about them, and continue to donate to support the work they are doing every day to ensure we have a progressive voice on the DeKalb County Commission.

Hey John, I wanted to send you a quick email introducing you to the #TeamTed crew.

Even though our campaign went into strong lockdown mode two weeks ago -- suspending all in-person events and outreach efforts, this team hasn't slowed down one bit.

We've been phone banking, texting voters, dropping off yard signs, writing postcards, and checking on our friends and neighbors during this time of crisis. We even turned my home office into a virtual "command center" for the campaign.

I'm grateful to have a team that continues to show up for each other and for the community.

I am excited to stand with and support my friend Ted Terry for the Super District 6 position. I support Ted because he has the heart, experience and vision for service DeKalb needs in this position. Most important, he is the kind of leader who will listen to the community. That is why I am more than proud to serve as the General Consultant to the campaign and work to get him elected. Fred's with Ted! --Fred

Some campaigns had to lay off staff, during this dramatic dip in fundraising across the nation. These are tough times for us all. I committed to my team all the way through to election day, and that is what are going to do.

Your support will make sure we can keep our digital and distance campaign strategies in full effect, every day, until May 19th.

Thank you for supporting #TEAMTED during extraordinary circumstances in our nation and world. We will get through this by standing together. Thank you for pitching in ANYTHING that you can before March 31st. DONATE HERE - [link removed]

Thank you,

- Ted
