Friend,
Happy Valentine’s Day from the DeanTeam! When Dean was the owner of Talenti Gelato, he made sure that the containers for his product were clear so everyone knew what was inside. Today, I want to do the same with our campaign by giving you the inside scoop.
So, let’s break things down a bit. As you know, campaigns have a plethora of expenses—from snacks for volunteers to the literature delivered to your mailbox. Most expenses fall into three major categories.
Voter outreach/engagement: The most important work of our campaign is engaging with the 3rd District’s voters. From printing literature and fueling the Government Repair Truck for Coffee and Conversation stops and parades, to placing advertisements on the air, the largest chunk of our resources is used to deliver Dean’s message to voters in all areas of the district.
Services: In order to ensure that our campaign works efficiently and effectively we utilize a number of services, such as databases for the secure storage of supporter information, email service, internet providers, rent for the Campaign Coffeehouse, and more. This category makes up the second largest portion of our campaign spending and creates an essential foundation for all we do.
Staff: From the core team of paid staffers who work on the campaign year round to the stipends for our interns and snacks for our volunteers, ensuring that the DeanTeam is compensated for their work is of the utmost importance. Your contributions mean that our team is fully staffed and able to continue building our network of supporters even during non-election years.
Can I count on you to support our campaign and continue to build on the progress we’ve made in the 3rd?
