Dear John,

We hope that you will join us for our November 3, 2020, General Election endorsement meeting, taking place virtually, via Zoom, on Wednesday, August 26, from 7 to 9 pm. It's hard to believe that we are already quickly approaching the general election. It is precisely for that reason that we must begin to consider all the candidates and measures on the upcoming ballot.
