Putting the Fun in Fundraising

Todd and the CandidateIt was a perfect night for a fundraiser. The weather was lovely, the decorations simple and inviting and the food from Chef Seth Smith of Taste Catering was delicious. We watched as the crowd swelled with supporters last Thursday night, all of them gathering on Georgianna's rooftop headquarters to enjoy a moment with the Candidate.

As Georgianna mingled with the crowd, I watched as her supporters, from both sides of the political fence, gave generously of their money and their support to back her as the best candidate for the job. Many of them mentioned her professional business background as being something that would serve District 1 well, and was experience they believed was much needed in Congress during these troubled financial times. 

With only a few weeks to go until the election, fundraising continues to be a primary focus for Georgianna. It is what she spends the majority of her time doing these days. To get Georgianna introduced to as many people as possible, she must rely on TV to deliver her campaign messages.  Television time is expensive, and therefore every bit of support helps.

Todd Rollins is the owner of Rollins Communication and is our esteemed media strategist. The only person that appears to be missing from this picture is Chebon Marshall, our most wise and well respected campaign manager.

Georgianna, well, her role is the most important one of all, don't you think?

The gap in this race is closing fast, and in these last few weeks the goal is to keep Georgianna on air and talking about the relevant issues and concerns the people of District 1 really care about. If you are able to contribute, please do. Every little bit counts.
