Dear John,

?

For the last 3 weeks, we (Field Director Sarah Hutson and Co-Chair Stephen Smith) have been traveling the state to meet with WV Can't Wait endorsed candidates, face-to-face. We use these strategy sessions to craft a tailored, week-by-week campaign plan for the general election. It's a sort of traveling political machine, but for candidates who aren't bought and paid for.

?

It was a blast to strategize friendbanks with house candidate Eric Sebert on his family farm in Nicholas County, over soup beans and cornbread. Or landing on a fundraising strategy with accountant and community leader Tony Martin and his terrific team in Beckley. Or working on communications with coach/teacher/author/landowner/safe water advocate Becky "Vote Becky By Hecky" Crabtree.

The average WV Can't Wait donation is $39. But that adds up.

?

Thanks to your contributions of money and time, we're able to offer these candidates...

Our program isn't perfect, but it's a good start. And it's getting better, thanks to these terrific candidates and their local teams. Wanna pitch-in? You can help us reach our general election fundraising goals by making a donation at wvcantwait.com. Or, you can sign-up to be a postcard writer or door-knocking volunteer for one of these great candidates by completing this form: https://forms.gle/aVgZAe5FMrbA1tR77.

See you 'round,

Sarah & Stephen
