| It's been a strong few months since Leland announced his exploratory campaign for Mayor and I just wanted to give you a quick update on our progress. (Share this note on Facebook)
First Major Endorsement in the Mayoral Race
Last week, Leland received the first major endorsement in the race for Mayor - The San Francisco Building and Construction Trades Council. The Council is made up of over 28 construction unions representing more than 60,000 workers. Press Release. SF Weekly Story.
5,000 Fans on Facebook
This week, we passed 5,000 fans on our Facebook page. Thanks to everyone who has joined and participated in our community. Keep an eye out for some fun promotions here in the near future...
Thousands Rally to Boycott Rush Limbaugh
4,494 people signed our petition to boycott Rush Limbaugh for his bigoted remarks. We appreciate you standing with us against this type of intolerance. Petition.
Fundraising Success
We are also pleased to report that in just seven weeks the campaign was able to raise an impressive $166,000. We are most proud that voters from every neighborhood and 26 of the 28 San Francisco zip codes donated to our campaign. Over half gave $100 or less. Thank you for your help and support. Press Release. Donate.
Meet Leland in Your Neighborhood
Leland is out in neighborhoods across the city holding small conversations over a cup of coffee hearing about the issues you deal with in your community and that we all face as San Franciscans. Join us for coffee. We're in the Richmond this week - Check out the event schedule.
We're scheduling more coffees right now all over the city. We'd love to have your help setting these up or hosting a house party in your neighborhood. Lend a hand.
Thank you for your time, your help and your ideas. We hope to see you on the campaign trail.
If you have a moment, please share this note on Facebook with your friends.
Sincerely,
