Monday is the last day before the election, and your last chance to help us get Michela's message to voters. We need your help, even if you just have one hour, it can make a difference.

We will be dropping literature, walking in precincts, and helping get out the vote for Tuesday. This last push can be enormously helpful to get Michela every vote possible.

This race is going to be down to the wire on Election Day and a few minutes of your time can make the difference.

What is second-choice worth? Usually not much. But in this race putting together enough second-choice votes gives us a clear path to victory. We're reaching out to voters who might have picked a favorite and asking for their second votes. That's where this race will be decided, and I know we can get those second and third votes.
But I need you to help. Can you give $20 to help us reach 40 voters and ask them for their second-choice votes?
As other candidates are eliminated, the second name on their ballot is worth every bit as much as a first-choice vote. This is a big block of votes, and I know we can get them.
 
Contribute today! And we will turn second-place votes into 1st place on Election Day!
 
Thanks,

15 days 15 friends

We have 15 days left until election day!  We have something easy you can do to help us win on Tuesday the 8th, get 15 friends to commit to voting for Michela.

Every day you probably communicate with friends and family, what we need is for you to ask those people to commit to voting and help spread the news about Michela. A quick note reminding your friends on Facebook, on Twitter, or a text message, it's that simple. Remind them that with rank choice voting Michela would be proud to have their 1st, 2nd, or 3rd choice on the ballot.

If you can go one step farther and ask those friends and family to reach out to 15 of their friends, the message spreads fast..and that message is Michela has the best jobs plan, the best vision for San Francisco families, and the best plan to ensure San Francisco is THE city for good jobs in innovative new fields.

Can Michela count on you and 15 friends?

If you aren't able to reach out to 15 friends, can you contribute $15 to help get our message out?

Thanks,

Dave Schwartz

Campaign Manager

P.S.

Here is an opinion worth reading from Willie Brown. While Michela would like to have everyones first place vote on the ballot, second and third place votes will be just as valuable on election nite.

Did you get the mail?

Have you seen our latest mailer? What do you think?

I truly believe that passing the Neighborhood Schools Initiative is the right thing for our city, and as Mayor I'll focus on making every school in San Francisco a great school.

 

I also know that my experience helping create private sector jobs through the Biotechnology Tax Credit and the Film and Television Rebate Program make me the right choice for Mayor.

 

It is a message I'd like to share, but I need your help to have the resources to do so. Will you help us send out our jobs mail piece? If you contribute $50, that will pay for mail to 100 of your friends and neighbors. If you can contribute $75, we can reach 150 voters. More than a quarter of San Franciscans haven't made up their minds in this race yet, and we need to talk to them today.

 

Contribute today! Let's make San Francisco a city of opportunity for everyone.

 

Thank you so much for your support!

Michela

Time for real innovation

This week, our acting Mayor released what he called a jobs plan. Certainly that's the number one thing we should be talking about in this race, and I believe it is the most important task in front of the next Mayor. 

 

Five years ago, Michela Alioto-Pier wrote, proposed and helped pass Proposition I, which created the city's first long-term economic plan, the office of Economic Analysis, and program where every piece of legislation gets vetted for its affect on jobs in the city. It was creative, and its been effective. 

 

So I was surprised to see Ed Lee propose the same thing in his "jobs plan." Where has Ed been for the last five years? 

 

The bottom line is that San Francisco needs a Mayor who can do more than regurgitate old ideas, and can look beyond business as usual. There is one candidate in this race who has who has proposed truly innovative job-creating legislation.
