Dear John, I moved out of my mother’s house and on my own while I was still in high school. I didn’t reliably have family who showed up for me at sporting events, award ceremonies, parents’ weekend, grandparents’ day, graduations, or even Election Day last year. So you must be able to imagine how much it meant to me when I received over 25,000 votes during our last campaign and raised over $700,000 with over 11,000 donors. I cried when I saw those numbers because I was so astonished that tens of thousands of people showed up for me and our movement on the day when I needed them to. I am humbled and I am eternally grateful. I need your support again. I'm running for Philadelphia City Controller because our fights have to be local. I'm running to completely divest the City of Philadelphia from fossil fuels because I know that's the future we need now and because I know that carbon waste in Philadelphia causes forest fires in California. We have to come together and fight the climate crisis as a movement, at all levels of government, especially if Congress is gridlocked for the next two years. I'm running to find the financial resources to open a public bank in Philadelphia — and to help push for the founding of public banks across the nation. I'm running to build a model of transparent government and accountability for how people's money is spent. What works in Philadelphia can be adapted to work for you too. We know that Republicans have been holding local offices and using them to attack our basic human rights for decades. It’s time that Democrats organize from the ground up, the same way Republicans do, and fight back. Our campaign needs the support of Democrats from all across the country to show that we are just as invested in local races as we are in national ones. With your investment into our diverse, hard-working, and expanding movement, we can start to build a better city. And with a better Philly, we can build a better country. Anyone suffering somewhere means there is suffering everywhere. Republicans have the resources to fund local races. Progressives need a strategy of national crowd-sourcing in order to compete. This is a targeted local race that can have a big impact, but I need donor support from across the country. We aren't backed by corporations, banks, or billionaires. And we can actually get things done that can impact you. It’s about time Democrats rally around local races the way Republicans do — it’s the only way we’re going to be able to stop them. I am running in a special election this May 16th. Can you chip in $16 to help us win? Chip in $16! ...Or another amount Sincerely, Alexandra Hunt FOLLOW ALEXANDRA ON Paid for by Friends of Alexandra Hunt Contribute Merch Shop Alexandra M. Hunt | P.O.
