Not since 1814...

ce-ce for mayor [[link removed]] John, Yesterday we witnessed something neither of us would have ever expected to see in our lifetimes. In fact, the last U.S. Capitol breach was in 1814—more than 200 years ago—and that was by the British, not American citizens claiming to be patriots. What …

Before we ring in the new year

John -- I know it's getting late on New Year's Eve, but I wouldn't bother you if it wasn't urgent. Since the afternoon, our donation rate has dropped, and I'm getting concerned about whether or not we'll raise enough by MIDNIGHT for our critical end-of-year goal. We still have $1,056 more to go..…

Hi, Team Ce-Ce! I'm Bryan, Ce-Ce's campaign manager. Just checking in to make sure that you saw our email below from yesterday and wanted to provide you with a quick progress update. [GRAPHIC NOT AVAILABLE IN PLAINTEXT VIEW] Thanks to everyone who has pitched in so far, we're a little more than h…

Our numbers going public for the first time

John, we need your help. Tomorrow marks the end of 2020, but it also marks our very first annual financial report deadline. Our opponents are sure to show up with big dollars from mega-donors — but Ce-Ce isn't taking any corporate or developer money because she refuses to have any part in their s…

Happy Holidays!

Hello Everyone! It's the holiday season — a reminder to us all that regardless of religion or creed, we are all human beings who deserve peace, compassion, and joy. While this year looks different than years past due to the pandemic, our need for humanity, hope, and kindness is more essential …

This country is hurting, and Congress has the power to help.

The people of our country are continuing to suffer from this pandemic every single day. Here in Allentown, we know firsthand how hard the crisis has hit our low-income and homeless communities, as well as our small businesses. Our community is hurting. Working-class cities like Allentown are strug…

I wouldn’t want it any other way

John, I'm going to be totally honest with you — I don't like asking for money, but it's something we have to do if we're going to keep this grassroots campaign running. The reason I'm not accepting any donations from large businesses, developers, or corporate PACs is that I don't want to be held …

It's an insult to our democracy

Donald Trump still has not officially conceded. This is not about party — it's an insult to our democracy. By refusing to graciously accept the results of the election, his failure to concede is a blatant disregard for the will of the people. And it's damaging confidence in our system and discour…

John, did you see me on TV appearing as a guest in an episode of Business Matters? On the show, I had the chance to highlight the urgent need for a balance between residential health and economic health within our developing communities. If you missed it, don't worry. You can watch the whole thin…

BREAKING: Groundbreaking new amendments passed

Hello! Although my life's work has been rooted in public service through teaching, volunteering, and serving on the Board of Education, I haven't been on the City Council all that long. But I've wasted no time jumping right in and am already making my mark after years of inaction. Since its ea…

Getting aggressive and creative from the start

Hi Y'all! There’s a lot that goes into a campaign, and these early stages are going to lay the foundation for this race. We’ve got to beef up our team of staffers, invest in digital outreach, make phone calls, send text messages, print flyers, and so much more. Especially during the times of C…

Out with the old

John, I don't look like the typical mayor. I get it. While many candidates have spent decades isolated in corporate ivory towers and entrenched in the system for decades, the majority of my career has been on the School Board and currently the City Council. I've spent time within our communities …
