Support Fundraising Letter

One can do much. And one and one and one can move mountains. –Joan Ward-Harris

Dear Friend,

I believe I can offer Ward 4 responsible, commonsensical, effective and ethical leadership. I'm particularly interested in increasing high school graduation rates, providing more funding for after school and early childhood programs, creating jobs by providing incentives for business to locate in Ward 4, working with the city council to reduce the size of government and use the extra dollars for public health and senior services. I also want to preserve rental housing stock and expand homeownership through limited equity financing and community land trusts.

Now, I need to be honest here. Asking for financial support is one of my least favorite things to do. I know how hard we all work to keep our families healthy and happy, and to set aside a little for ourselves.

But our hard work will go for naught if we allow those in power right now to succeed in their attacks on senior citizen living space and their attempt to push through the DC Public School takeover.

My campaign chest consists of small individual contributions from people like you who want a councilmember who represents all the people of Ward 4, not just those with special interests.
Will you be one of the "ones" who will help us move mountains? Your contribution of $25, $50, $100 or if you're a PAC $500 will send a strong message to the fat cat power brokers that we plan to stand up and fight for what's important to us.

Thank you for all your support.

Sincerely,

Artee Milligan

PS – It's very important that we are able to show by April 1st that we are going to fight together for Ward 4.

Please send in your contribution of $25, $50, $100 or $500 today.
