The stakes in this election couldn’t be higher. It’s clear from Friday’s Finance Report that my opponent, Jim Scholl, is almost entirely funded by big developers and companies with pending business before the County.

I have been on the board of Fair Insurance Rates for Monroe for the past two years. I have learned so much about our home insurance crisis and the root cause of why our insurance rates are so high.

In just days, we have to close our books on another quarter of the campaign. This is an opportunity for us to show the strength and momentum we have built. I need to ask – can you make a contribution to help us show our strength?

We have 6 months to go until November’s election, but there is a lot of work left to do. This campaign is important to me because I know I can make the change that is necessary in our local government to better the lives of our residents.

Yesterday we filed our first quarterly campaign finance report and we are thrilled to say that we reached our goal of 100 donors in the first quarter and we out-raised our opponent Jim Scholl 6 to 1!

I am so excited to announce that we have reached our goal of 552 petitions signed and after a couple of other formalities I will officially be on the ballot in November!
