Dear John,

A poll conducted several weeks ago (October 4-6th) was released this week. It shows that Portland’s mayor race is a virtual dead-heat.

My campaign was within the margin of error from both of our competitors, and that's before we were endorsed by the Press Herald on October 17th and before we had 30 people knocking doors every weekend. Talk about momentum!

I started this race in March with little name recognition, against two competitors who had already been raising money and campaigning for months. Thanks to a strong commitment from my team and a growing number of volunteers, we are picking up steam at just the right time.

Can you help keep up the momentum? Sign up for a volunteer shift today or request a yard sign or make a contribution to the campaign.

Let's keep it up! We’re in the final stretch and anything you can do to help spread the word will help us win on November 5th.

Thank you for all of your support.

For the love of Portland,

Kate
