See this kid?

That’s me.

One of my high school jobs was at a hot dog place. I’ve always worked hard. Had no choice.

Not only did I get to eat for free after my shift, but my boss, Steve, let me fill out college applications during down times.

The point is, almost no one ever accomplishes anything important entirely by themselves. Someone almost always helps in ways large and small.

And I can’t win re-election alone either. I need your help. No matter how large, or how small. Especially before this FEC deadline:

Can you please make a contribution — $5, $10 or whatever you can afford — before our FEC fundraising deadline comes to a close in a few days? I would not ask were it not so important.

I can’t imagine the kid making hot dogs in that photo ever thought he’d be here, or have the support of so many.

Thank you,

Ruben
