Dear John,
October was another busy and momentum-building month for the campaign! From organizing and outreach to fundraising, I am right where I need to be to finish the year strong. And, it’s all thanks to you.
In early October, 3Q fundraising numbers were posted with the FEC. Thanks to you and more than 1,600 donors, I raised over $252k – my strongest quarter of the cycle and nearly $100k more than my next closest competitor. I maintained my fundraising strength in October, CRUSHING my monthly goal and putting me on pace for another strong quarter.
One of the many great traditions in Roswell is the annual Youth Day Parade. This year, an awesome group of next-generation Republicans joined in for the fun, and my sweet girl Sadie tagged along too.
And speaking of next-generation leaders … I enjoyed speaking with the AP Government classes at Alpharetta High School and with Roswell High School’s Teen Republicans. These young people are so engaged and informed. Their questions ranged from finding consensus in today’s difficult political environment to foreign policy. With young leaders like these, it is clear that the future is bright!
Kudos to my friend Kaaryn Walker on the success of the Black Conservatives for Truth Engagement Summit. Participants from Georgia and across the U.S. gathered to discuss important issues facing our communities and how conservative solutions, like the First Step Act for criminal justice reform (which I was proud to help pass in Congress), are making a difference.
Also, check out our new website at www.KarenHandel.com. You can learn where I stand on the issues, see why so many of our elected and grassroots leaders are supporting me, and keep up with the latest news from the campaign.
The month closed out with nearly 100 supporters gathering in North Fulton to share their thoughts and get involved. It was a fun evening with friends, food and even some local GA6 brews. The Team Handel grassroots network grows stronger every week. If you missed this meet & greet, stay tuned for details about our upcoming events in Milton and East Cobb. If you would like to host a meet and greet or join our Grassroots Leaders Team, just contact Chris at [email protected].
Steve and I remain grateful to you for your support and friendship. Let’s do this … and WIN the 6th!!
Best,
Karen
