Team Ce-Ce -- It's been exactly one week since we launched our campaign and sent you our initial launch email below! 

These first few weeks are going to set the stage and determine our viability for the duration of this entire race. I'm worried that if we miss this important window of opportunity to gain solid ground support early on, we'll have trouble keeping up -- because it's only going to get harder from here.

That's why we set a Launch Week Goal of raising $3,000 online by the end of this first week. And right now, we really need your help getting there by our midnight deadline.

Can I count on you to pitch in any amount to make sure we're off to a strong start? Rush a contribution right now to help us hit our Launch Week Goal of $3,000 by MIDNIGHT >>

Hello, John!

I’m so excited to announce today that I’m officially launching my campaign to become the next Mayor of Allentown!

After being on the School Board for over eight years and currently serving on the City Council, I’ve dedicated my career to enriching and improving our communities because I believe that it’s up to local government to implement meaningful changes that will directly impact people’s everyday lives.

Allentown is on the verge of a comeback. We’re a growing, working-class city who has been struggling to turn out concrete solutions that will foster growth. As a result, we’ve become too complacent. So I’m running to finally give us the boost we need to progress and move forward with the rest of the country — because the status quo just isn’t cutting it.

We’re lacking vision in this city. As an international city with people from all over the world, we can’t just claim to be an inclusive place simply due to our demographics — we must actually live by those words and turn them into action. And that means we need a mayor that doesn’t just say, “Diversity is our strength,” but someone who embraces it through inclusive, equitable policies. Allentown is a place where everyone is welcome and where everyone deserves an equal opportunity to thrive.

The people of Allentown deserve a leader who isn’t afraid to make bold moves and shake things up — someone who sets the tone of the city to ensure that everyone has equal access to affordable housing, sustainable jobs, and quality education.

In order to achieve this, I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work at improving our neighborhoods — block by block. I will fight hard to make sure that nobody in Allentown is left behind by those at the top. But if I’m going to make it happen, I need you by my side.

Will you help me kick off my campaign and finally bring the fresh, progressive leadership we need to Allentown? Rush a contribution now for our campaign launch! >>

Thanks for standing with me! Let’s do this!
