John,

When it comes to winning this election and moving DeKalb forward, Ted isn't kitten around. He and his team are working 24/7 to connect with lots of creative cats, to share our vision for a cleaner, greener, and more prosperous DeKalb.

You already know how im-paw-rtant this race is, and how tough it's going to be to get our message out. But as of right meow, we're $3,871 short of our end-of-meownth goal -- will you purr-lease help us catch mice up?

This election isn't just a game of cat and mouse -- together, we can bring new energy and new ideas and make DeKalb a world-class county. But we need all paws on deck to win this race -- so John, will you rush a cat-tribution to help us reach our end-of-meownth goal of $3,871?

It's time for a cat nap, but we'll check in soon!
