First, I want to correct an error in my previous campaign update. The closing period for filing will be August 15, not August 25.

This has been a fruitful week. We have received endorsements from eleven community leaders from all over Richmond, all of whom happen to be presidents of their neighborhood councils (These are individual endorsements, not neighborhood council endorsements. Neighborhood councils cannot endorse candidates)

• John Monks (President, Atchison Village Neighborhood Council)
• Ed Durbin (President, Brickyard Cove #2 Homeowners Association)
• Marvin Yudenfreund (Director, Carriage Hills North Homeowners Association/Neighborhood Council)
• Melita Agbabiala (President, Eastshore Community Neighborhood Council)
• Jeanette Mahoney (Contact Person, El Sobrante Hills Neighborhood Council)
• Eleanor Loynd (President, May Valley Neighborhood Council)
• Jessie Hall (President, Parkview Neighborhood Council)
• Margaret Jordan (President, Point Richmond Neighborhood Council)
• Mary Selva (President, Richmond Annex Neighborhood Council)
• Rock Brown (President, Richmond Heights Neighborhood Council)
• Alejandro Navarro (President, SW Annex Neighborhood Council)

 

We will start collecting donations to run a campaign on July 1. A contribution form, which also includes volunteer commitments, can be downloaded at http://tombutt.com/contribute.htm. Attach a check to the form and mail it in, but not until after July 1. Please do what you can to help. I have managed to offend many of the special interests that are the source of most campaign funds in Richmond, so I have to depend on a lot of smaller donations.
