Wow - did you get Ted's message? We made the August 11th runoff!
What a rollercoaster ride it's been these last four months, campaigning during a global pandemic. But all the hard work paid off, Ted finished in first place in a very competitive three-way race.
John, we aren't skipping a beat, we're getting right back into it. In fact, we have a team of canvassers going out to knock on doors (socially distant) starting Monday. Our goal is to hit 20,000 doors by August 11th.
We pay our canvassers a living wage of $15/hr and an average shift is five hours. Our goal is to raise $25,000 to cover a total of at least 334 shifts.
John, run-offs are about getting people back out to the polls, and the best way to do that is to knock every door. At Team Ted, we're working hard to make sure that happens, but we need your help. Please donate today.
Thank you again for your support!

Subject: We made the run-off!
John,
Words cannot express how grateful I am for the support you gave our campaign. John, because of you and thousands of voters, supporters, donors, and volunteers. We made the run-off election in an extremely competitive field of three candidates.
Despite all the election day havoc and mishaps, we finished in first place with close to 40% of the votes and are now headed to an August 11th run-off election.
You proved that a critical mass of individuals can make a difference if we work together. Thank you for being a part of this, you’ve made a big impact that helped us get this far.
Now I just need your support one more time. Please help us continue the work we have started to move DeKalb and Georgia and America -- forward. It's time for a change, and together we can make that change a reality.
John, run-offs are notoriously low turnout elections where the key to victory is getting out our supporters one more time. That is our number one goal between now and August 11th. To achieve this, we are deploying a massive field campaign, focused solely on getting voters back out again!
Our goal is to lead by example, making DeKalb County a laboratory for how to reform policing, to fight climate change, to expand voting rights and create a fairer democracy, and ensure we leave a healthier, cleaner, and more equitable and equal planet for now and future generations.
Help us make the historic changes that will echo long into the future. Help us and it will change the world.
Thank you again!
- Ted
